    Biden's economy last year alone was averaging 188k jobs with more native born employment than trumps.

    Youre in a cult. Snap out of it

    AGAIN, KEEP SUCKING THAT MAGA DICK. You just ignore that Trump just passed a bill that will add 8 trillion dollars to the debt? Wage growth? Where is this data? Or are you just listening to Trump as you suck his dick?

    I believe it was @strosb4bros who explained that it will take until second half of 2026 until Trumps brilliant tariff and economic policy will begin to bear fruit. Therefore, all of this data is null and void and we must put our faith in lord Donald Trump.

    First, please know that I post stuff in response to Little Trader Jorge/Conquistador to troll him. Because he is a loser and deserves it. And he runs from every discussion we have because he loses. Whether it’s about the market, prestigious universities in America, or legal cases, he runs away every time.

    Beyond that, what you posted is factually true I assume. It is also true that Joe Biden delivered 25 and 26 percent returns on the SP500 in the last two years. Trump inherited a booming market, that’s fact. He is underperforming dementia Biden by a significant margin.

    Is it his moronic tariff and trade policy? Is it his grifting? Is it the chaos he creates when companies and markets hate uncertainty? Is it the lack of consumer confidence? People can argue about why, how, etc. Trump has often used market performance as a grade on the Presidents economic performance. That’s his criteria, not mine.

    Under his own criteria, he is looking pretty damn bad. If Biden had handed him a poor or struggling market delivering negative or single digit returns and then Trump delivered 10%, bravo, good job Donald. Great turnaround. That’s not the case. He inherited a booming market delivering 25% and has been a market anchor.

    Smart people know that the President is not solely responsible for market performance any more than a President is responsible for the price of gasoline. But dumb asses like Little Jorge like to crow when the market goes up for his guy, fabricate excuses when the market goes even more bigly for a Democrat president. So I troll him and he runs away.

    Then you have other dumb asses in here complaining about gas prices under Biden, when oil production was at a record high. Those very dumb asses refuse to acknowledge that gas prices are dictated by refining capacity and worldwide pricing. That oil companies are literally deciding to use internal capital for stock buybacks rather than further development because they are focused on shareholder return (I know this because I worked for one). Same dumb asses refuse to read and understand that big oil isn’t building new refineries, certainly not when the current President cannot maintain a coherent economic policy that allow companies to make decisions regarding spend of several hundred million dollars.

    That's because causing pain & misery to black & brown & yellow folks, and black women in particular (see Lisa Cook, eg) is not a bug but a feature

    These are the most mediocre pieces of **** you can imagine, Trump, his loser kids, his sycophants. They generally suck at everything, so having a pretend meritocracy where failsons inherit a burning poisoned earth is exactly where these ****ers are trying to take us

    **** them though - not going to make it easy for them

    I believe the phrase "Wall Street is not Main Street" took off during the 2008 financial crisis. Funny enough, it was the right pushing that line not long ago when stocks kept hitting new highs.

    2024 26.9%
    2023 -18.1%
    2022 26.9%
    2021 16.3%
    2020 28.9%
    2019 -6.2%
    2018 21.8%
    2017 11.9%
    2016 1.4%
    2015 13.7%

    Yet even in 2023 Biden's economy produced more jobs than Trumps economy is right now. According to you in the other thread mass deportations would mean tons of jobs of black and low income Americans and usher in a golden era. The job market is in the gutter. We had good stock gains + job gains the previous 4 years.

    Not a single month of bidens 4 year presidency did we ever have as bad of a jobs report the past few months. Its funny how your "mass deportations will cause a economic boom" completely failed like everyone was said it would.

    Stop being brainwashed with hate

    Im happy to admit I am wrong, but I just ran a Google search again and it says the total sp500 return for 2023 was 26.29%, including dividend payouts and price appreciation. 24.23% was price appreciation. The rest was dividends. When I run a search for VOO (Vanguards sp500 index fund), I get the same result.

    5.5 million of jobs created during Biden's term were foreign-born workers. WOW. The working class was left out to dry... and then Biden's inflation took away their quality of life.
