Cowboy
You are spot on with your analysis.

The media and the Dimicrats (sp on purpose)
Will always twist the picture of the economy to fit their narrative.

Anyone who has studied history knows better than to judge success with the economy on any President during the first 100 days.

Check back with me in 100 weeks.

---

S&P is off by small single digits for the year; flat in April. Not bad for an economy likely already in recession (which started before he was in augurated....).

https://www.bbae.com/blog/sp-500-the-winners-and-losers-of-april-2025/

but counter-factual narratives do have an impact, and on no one moreso than GOP moderates......

---

The economy was most definitely NOT in a recession before Trump took office. So let's dispense with the misinformation.
LOL the economy experienced recession in the 1st Q of 2025, which includes the THREE WEEKS prior to his inauguration.

And even if it were, people aren't going to care or recall what the economy was like before he took office. The question will be: have his policies made it better, or has it gotten worse? And given that we still haven't even begun to see the full repercussions of the tariffs, it is likely to get worse. Can he turn it around by the midterms? It's possible, if he charts a different course. But if he truly is committed to the current tariff policy, there will be pretty severe negative repercussions to the economy.

If that happens, goodbye Congress.
His policies are not popular with "our" demographic....meaning college educated managment/professional classes. They are wildly poplar with ordinary people and particularly union members. UAW has actually endorsed them. If Fed projections are anywhere close to accurate, we will have economic growth THIS year, which will put us in a strong position for the mid-terms.

Oh, and BTW, China hasn't blinked. They seem committed to seeing this through. Bottom line is China doesn't care if its people suffer. They're not backing down to a bully. If only Trump had not alienated our allies with blanket tariffs, and had engaged in a more targeted campaign against bad actors like China, perhaps it would have worked.

I suspect it will be Trump that blinks. Again.

---

Dude, you are so seriously misreading the landscape.

---

No, it was not. That is called a slowdown, and it happened after Trump took office. We were not in a recession prior to Trump taking office. This is nothing more than misinformation.

As for his policies, his polling is quite negative on the economy. And that's the issue. If it remains that way, and the economy continues to slide, midterms could be a blood bath. It's all about the economy, and we have clear evidence that Trump's policies have negatively affected same.

On China, wait and see.

---

It's not relevant to the first 100 days if it saves the country from the Biden fiasco. The country was in horrible shape whether you want to admit it or not.

---

There is the argument that it might take short term pain to fix long standing issues, but the economy is objectively far worse off after these 100 days than at any time during the Biden Presidency.

And it will get worse soon, as drilling stops, truckers are laid off, and prices start to rise. If we even get back to the economy we had in January, this calendar year, I will be surprised.

---

Just like years ago we were told by Algore that the polar ice caps would completely melt.

---

So, you don't think that polar ice is melting? Huh... I guess he was only 1/2 right.

---

But he didn't claim it would go down in half or even just a little. He said it would completely melt.

But like EVERY prediction made by the climate cult it has failed to happen.

---

So, if it is not exactly as said, it is a BS clown comment?

That go for Trump? Interesting standard, I will remember next time we have the greatest ever seen speech... Maybe a largest crowd in history attended speech. Or by the wall that Mexico built ..

You really want to stand by that standard?

Lol. Let go of your TDS for a moment and focus on this Al Gore statement.

So the entirety of the Arctic Ice cap is there? Russia, Canada, China and the US are not positioning for new maritime trade routes opening up? The US wants Greenland for what reason since the ice cap makes the Arctic not passable? Wow! None of that is happening. The Arctic Ice cap is the same as when Gore made the prediction. I guess someone better tell the crab so they can migrate back...

I guess the inverse is also that this is the best economy ever seen, Trump had the largest inaugural in 2016 and Mexico did pay to have the wall built. Who knew...

Stocks posted another day of strong gains Friday, fueled by news of potential progress toward the U.S. and China mending trade relations. Indexes shrugged off an earnings sell-off for Apple (AAPL) and focused instead on a better-than-expected April jobs report on the stock market today.

Stocks slipped from the day's highs in early afternoon action but held on to the bulk of their gains. The indexes peaked after The Wall Street Journal reported China is considering a fentanyl offer to the U.S. to start trade talks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 564 points, or 1.4%. The blue chip index jumped more than 600 points at one point during the session. As it completed its ninth-straight winning session, the 30-stock index flirted with its 50-day moving average.

The S&P 500 added 1.5%, as the benchmark index moved further above its 50-day moving average after closing above it Thursday. It also notched its ninth-consecutive rise.

Meanwhile, the Nasdaq climbed 1.5% after also retaking its 50-day line Thursday. The tech-heavy index pierced the 18,000 watermark earlier in the session. The next hurdle for the major indexes is their longer-term 200-day moving averages.

In the small caps market, the Russell 2000 outperformed the major indexes, climbing 2.3%.

Volume was lower on the Nasdaq and slightly higher on the New York Stock Exchange vs. Thursday. On the Nasdaq exchange, rising stocks topped falling issues by nearly 3-to-1. Gainers on the NYSE beat losers by more than 4-to-1.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield added eight basis points to 4.31%. Oil prices sank and were near $58.55 a barrel. Bitcoin topped the $97,000 level.

From a strictly business standpoint government spending on the military typically pays off well and we have some massive holes in our defenses right now.

But, I agree, it's hard to reconcile those two things and I also recognize I'm much more pro-military than most.
