That's the maddening thing about economies...........................they never respond to rhetoric. You cannot talk markets sliding into the red, back into the black.

The bottom line is; we'll just have to wait and see, because it's way too soon to tell one way or the other.

Forgetting the Mueller report? The only thing Russians did was fail. They tried to help Hillary.

It is way past sickening listening to you leftist mofos lie incessantly, lie after freaking lie after lie. Do you know who the Father of Lies is? Well, he has you progressive socialist reprobates firmly in his grip.

I'm not even going to attempt to refute this lie. We've heard this exact same bullshit so many times now that it is as worthless as a wad of used ass wipe. What you are doing is a disgrace. Not to mention an insult to more than 65 million Americans.

The folks at ZeroHedge mentioned that an inverted yield curve on US Treasuries does precede economic downturns, however what's happened here is far from definitive. Let's see how this plays out, OK?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-04/how-long-does-yield-curve-have-be-inverted-recession

As for you comments about what a great job President Obama did (with the economy) since he was on the other side of President Bush's recession, the economy had nowhere to go but up. What was surprising is how low the GDP numbers were. The economic engine that is the United States cycles but as this link shows, downturns are inevitable, and upturns nearly always last longer (particularly since 1945).

https://www.nber.org/cycles.html

Interestingly, the average length of time between downturns (since '45) is about 6 years, so not being an economist, but based on a logical assumption - if President Obama's last 6 years were during a normal (albeit slow by GDP numbers) upturn, 3 years into President Trumps administration we should've already HAD a downturn. Instead, with his policies, businesses of all sizes have thrived overall. The number of employed Americans which was going down (unemployment numbers are meaningless without allowing for those who have "left the workforce") is at an all time high.

There's bound to be a downturn coming - it's a statistical certainty - but putting all the blame for it on this President is as silly as praising the previous President because he happened to take office on the other side of the last recession.

Since I'm at it, your insisting that China has President Trump over a barrel makes me think you very judiciously looked at results after googling "China President Trump over a barrel". When I googled "does china have trump over a barrel" I got a lot more links showing the President has China over a barrel, or China has overplayed their hand, or other links that don't align with your position on the subject.

As far as polling data goes, citing it gets you no points since we saw what the relationship between polls and winners was in 2016.

And Russian hackers? Really? Compared the what the Clinton and Trump campaigns were doing, or the giants in the social media world. Get a grip, dude. Russia has ALWAYS tried to muck things up during elections, just like we do, just like the Chinese do (and did), just like the Brits, and the EU, and the Israeli's, and every other powerful government or person like the Kock Brothers, or Soros, etc. etc. etc.

What else ya got. Oh yeah

Keep drinking the KOOL-AID seems to be working for ya

Fit2BTied Loc: Texas

Yeah. I probably drank a little too much. Made me urinate on each one of your points and that's your response. Not surprised. When your initial argument is leftist talking points, and someone gut punches you with facts we shouldn't expect much. Thanks for meeting our expectations.

All I will say is this... When Trump tried to sell the same bullshit that you Trumpicites eat up like a gourmet dinner... They laughed at him

Fit2BTied Loc: Texas

Sell to whom? Be direct and support your arguements. This weak stuff isn't worth responding to. G'night. Hope when we meet again you're willing to at least make some effort to support your hyperbole.

If I were you, bubba, and thank God for small favors, I'd give some serious consideration to just whose side you are on. I haven't seen a single word of praise for our AMERICAN nation in any one of your posts.
