cincybearcat said:I’ll be honest - I’m a bit confused that there are some people in AMT that wanted us out of Iraq (and they were right) and Afghanistan immediately and now they are mad about trump leaving Syria? Cause the generals don’t want to? I thought those war mongering generals always wanted war?
My opinion is it seems kinda silly to just up and leave. Putting a plan in place with a specific achievable goal to be the mark to leave would make sense. Perhaps that’s what others that are against this but wanted a full pull out of other places are for as well?
I find myself about 80% or more against trump (rough estimate). It does seem like many are 100% regardless of their past positions.

This shutdown is fascinating and Trump keeps upping the ante which is even worse for him in practice If he truly shuts the southern border down, it will disrupt billions in trade. Does he think the market will react positively to that?
The Democrats are going to put him in a box on day one. They will offer him the deal he had a year ago... 25 billion in border security (with stipulations that it can't be used for a wall) plus dealing with the Dreamers. Any normal humanoid would take that deal in a second, but he can't because his 35% base will be furious that brown people will become citizens and....no wall. Anne Coulter will un-follow him again. But the real kicker is that the Reuters poll that shows only 25% think we should shut the gov't over the wall. So that means the Democrats will feel no political pressure to give him the wall funding, but Trump will feel enormous pressure NOT to take the deal because if the "base" melts back into their basements, he has no constituency. Fascinating!0 -
benjs said:Trump was elected January 20 2017 (DJI @ $19,827.25) and inherited consistently strong growth from his predecessor. Today (23 months later) = $22,445.37
Your initial number was wrong, and the growth is 13.2% and showing signs of that growth diminishing and Y/Y drifting negatively as of late.
Obama was elected January 20 2009 ($7,949.09). 23 months later = $11,478.13
That’s 44.4% growth and trending upwards, while having inherited an initial mess existing for the prior 1.5Y.
If you’d like to take financial trend data like DJI in isolation and use it as a success metric, then I’m sure you’ll readily admit how much volatility Trump’s presidency has added to the market in his first two-ish years compared to his predecessor. Or you’ll have your cake and eat it too, by coming up with an asinine cherry-picked reason that this is a valid success metric for one President but not another. That’s more what I’m counting on.
For those well versed in market performance, is this metric (2Y DJI performance) something fair to judge any president on regardless? To my rookie mind, this seems like trying to link rainfall in Peru with winds in Southeast Asia. Yes, since it’s a system it’s related, but there are influences everywhere and claiming direct and meaningful causality seems like a stretch. Would love to learn from anyone who can shed insight one way or another.Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.0 -
mrussel1 said:Cut entitlements and defense. Done.
Open a thread, glad to discuss the budget, but not in context of pulling out of Syria and how that makes not a sliver of a change in our debt position. It not been mentioned by trump or any representative as the defense or even a major calculus in the decision, that I've seen. Im not "dealing with media reports", no one is suppressing their voice on the issue.Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.0 -

Except we're both wrong b/c those headlines are based on raw numbers and not %ages which is what your investments are based on.
Don't get lost in your desire for failure.
