Trump is dangerous , he craves power, for most of his life he had his father to bail him out, Trump has never had to own any of his failures of which he has had many...he has had people reinforce his perceived greatness and stroking his ego letting him always believe he was the smartest man in the room even though he is usually the opposite....all of that leads to what we have today a man so consumed by his own image and ego that he actually thinks the video he ran today makes him look great and that Americans swooned over it and his awesome leadership when most eye rolled or gagged at the forced and frankly disturbing nature of it....the worst part of all of this is that at this point the only alternative we really have is Biden, somehow in Americans infinite wisdom and pool of greatness these two old rambling fools are the best we can find to run this great nation.....we as Americans own this, this is our fault for not demanding better.

He’s not dangerous moment he got elected. People thought we be getting into a war. It’s exactly the opposite there is no war. People takes Trumps tone the wrong way.

Wow, talk about some serious Kool-Aid drinking there. The whole MAGA thing is a cult. You say God first yet you elected the most ungodly man you could find.

Cant argue that point. But just to cite a couple of examples, its funny that an ungodly Man doesnt promote legislation to butcher millions of babies in the womb and outside the womb. He also has stood up for religous liberties more than any of the other candidates and isnt afraid to call Christmas Christmas instead of Happy Hollidays.

Hope the insight helps some of you understand why people suport Trump. Its not about Trump the person,its about standing up against the progressive,left socialist movement in this country. Im not ashamed to stand up to it and it will be decided in November. Regardless if we win or lose. The sun will come up the next morning and Ill keep on serving the one whos really in charge and sitting on the throne.

This whole war on Christmas thing is so ridiculous. No one has ever stopped people from being able to say it. Heck, he was saying Happy Holidays himself until someone told him that some folks like yourself make such a big deal about it and claim Christmas is being attacked. The persecution complex some of you have is just silly. I'm Christian and never once have I felt attacked.

I find the whole pledge of allegiance thing mind boggling too. Conservatives pitch a fit when kids don't say it at school but bet at home that indivisible part goes right out the window when they claim half the country are traitors and communists/socialist. Same thing can be said for liberals they just don't go out demanding the pledge be said in schools.

I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

Of course I believe it. Reasons I voted for him.

1. The wall I’m a supporter of that. He’s built 161 miles
2. Isis I wanted them destroyed. Now you barely hear about isis Trumps done good
3. The economy Trump had it booming before this pandemic unemployment numbers was a all time low. Probably the best economy in the world
4. Pro life I am against abortion Trump is to in fact if Hillary was president. Babies would be dying as late as 40 weeks because the mom feels like killing the baby
5. I’m tired of the same politicians Trump drains the swamp.

Yeah he’s done what I voted him in to do

If he does indeed bring the economy back after this disaster, he will go down as one of the best presidents ever.

he made a mistake tying his presidency to the stock market. The president really has little control of it. He was hoping things would continue to go well. The stock market was over sold and inflated before this pandemic. There was literally a powder keg ready to go off and this pandemic was the match to set of a huge downturn.

Yep, the US is clearly TWO nations in one country. I’m truly concerned for the future of the “United” States of America. The hatred for the other side by those firmly on each side who are against compromise and working with the other side is stronger than the hatred for any other group on the planet. It is horrible. BOTH sides are guilty of this.

The fact the stocks are still over 20,000 speaks volumes.

I use to get in the mud over on american politics forum but once i had my son I realized we cant raise our children in a world of hate. I let all that go and now truly do believe in live and let live and that even opinions I am strongly against deserve their voice just as much as we deserve ours.

Fox News and the GOP beating you over the head with that over and over doesn't make it true. How many times did they investigate her over the years and came up with nothing? It was a complete waste of taxpayer money. Y'all just continue to need a boogeyman.

As one sided as it is here on the far right, which I feel I’m often fighting, I found it was actually much worse there on the far left. The far left over there has been out of control almost from day one lead by their nasty, hateful and borderline lunatic “queen”, tr$x.

Whenever I classified myself as right of center independent there, tr$x would consistently claim I was a liar and really right winged GOP. There was little tolerance for views that weren’t far left. At least here, we can actually have a decent level of civil debate even though it gets robust. Over there, there is virtually no civility and it is filled with profanity/juvenile name calling.

It’s a hope rally. The market is going to drop again and very soon.

Meh I was listening to Cramer talk yesterday (I do recognize he isn't for everyone, my dad and step uncle like him, but my grandpa didn't) and he was talking about how it's said that we passed the resistance points from previous bear markets. The market might have some drops going forward, but it might end up not testing DOW 18000 (like I thought it might do again).

Now you can also question if whether it's healthy that this probably has a good chance of not happening, and if this is too unprecedented to be for certain because of the FED's actions. Interesting short story that might not be related, until my mom's malpractice incident on the day of my birth, my parents tossed around the idea of living off my mom's teacher salary and 5% interest rate off the money my dad had in the 90s with him retiring to look after me. And now we're nowhere near 5% interest rates over two decades later. Dad thinks it's healthier for interest to be higher (I didn't dig into why).

I have two theories as to why if we don't test DOW 18000 (I think if we were to, this is probably the bottom). One being the market getting crazy oversold honestly because of huge panic, and two being the FED stepping in a lot faster than in 08/09.
