5/31/19: Someone apparently poked President
Trump in his fat ass with a sharp stick. Angered by what he views as Mexico’s
failure to stop migrants from reaching the U.S. border, he orders a 5% tariff slapped
on all Mexican goods entering the United States.
This idea is so dumb that even Republicans who
have stood idly by and watched Trump pander to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un,
who didn’t mind when he said he could pardon himself, who haven’t cared about
his sustained attacks on the free press, finally began to complain. The stock
market reacted badly and continues its May swoon, falling to 24,815 by the end
of the day.
The “good news” for Trump? This will allow him to
brag again—for a fourth time—when the Dow rises above 25,000 again.
As in the following tweets:
January 4, 2018: Dow just
crashes through 25,000. Congrats! Big cuts in unnecessary regulations
continuing.
January 4, 2018: The Fake News
Media barely mentions the fact that the Stock Market just hit another New
Record and that business in the U.S. is booming...but the people know! Can you
imagine if “O” was president and had these numbers - would be biggest story on
earth! Dow now over 25,000.
July 14, 2018: The Stock Market
hit 25,000 yesterday. Jobs are at an all time record - and that is
before we fix some of the worst trade deals and conditions ever seen by any
government. It is all happening!
January 30, 2019: Dow just
broke 25,000. Tremendous news!
Need this simple blogger point out, it is hardly “tremendous
news” when the Dow hits the same level a year later, it hit the year before?
Also, for pure amusement’s sake, can we compare
the performance of the stock market in Mr. Obama’s first 28 months in office,
with a comparison during the Art of the No Deal President Trump during his
first 28 months.
Yes, we can!
The Dow opened at 8,281 the day President Obama took office,
and closed at 19,804 on January 19, 2017, his final full
day in the White House.
Trump took over and charged into action and Trump fans knew America
was going to be great again at last—and “repeal and replace” would be easy—and the
stock market would soar. And here we are! On May 31, the Dow closes at 24,815,
having slumped badly in the face of threats of fresh tariffs and increasing potential
disruptions of trade.
As of this moment, the Big Orange Buffoon has the Dow up 26.4%.
Trump and his fans probably believe that the market crashed
while Obama went off all the time to play golf. In fact, on May 31, 2011 it closed at 12,570 for the day.
That would mean…
…sounds of calculator
buttons…
…the Dow was up at that point by 46.2%.

TRUMP’S OLD PAL, Kim Jong-un does what Trump can
only dream of doing. In the wake of the failed Hanoi summit, it has been
reported that he got rid of a few of his top foreign policy advisers by ordering them executed.
Still, Trump loves the guy—and they agree on Joe
Biden and his low I.Q. (See: 5/26/19.)
