Trump continues to make a mistake so costly that it could relegate him to the title of worst president of all time. Let me say first, if you are a Trump supporter, I am not your enemy. I am generally indifferent toward Trump and want the United States to succeed no matter who is president. The purpose of this article is to warn you about what the Deep State has in store for Trump and his supporters. Unfortunately, Trump’s rhetoric plays right into their hands.
Recently, Trump made the mistake yet again by tweeting this:

The largest and most dangerous mistake Trump is making as president is taking credit for the economy. As an economic enthusiast and investor, I can tell you that presidents don’t control the economy. No one should have given Obama credit for the recovery and Trump should not be taking credit for the economy now. In a free(ish) market/capitalistic society, there are countless reasons the economy does and does not do well. The president’s influence on the economic cycle has always been miniscule.

That was the first clue.
"I am generally indifferent toward Trump"
That was the second clue.
"Recently, Trump made the mistake yet again by tweeting this"
That was the third clue.
This paragraph alone qualifies this guy as an idiot not worth considering. Obama did not have a recovery, he impeded economic growth. Reagan got the economy booming after Carter had single handedly killed it. Presidential economic policies have profound effect on the economy through tax, trade, energy and regulatory policies.
I think liberals write articles like dogs pee on lamp posts. They can’t help themselves.
Right! Just like they told us R. Reagan was the worst president ever! History can write all the books they want but eventually it falls on what people think at the end of a presidency! And Reagan was one of the best presidents ever! And Ovomit will be written as one of the worst president replacing Jimmy Carter!
“No one should have given Obama credit for the recovery . . .”
I assume this character is talking about a recovery so anemic no one was really able to much notice it? I’ve seen plots of growth rates coming out of recessions over the past 50 to 70 years, and that plot for the Obama years stands out in stark contrast to all the others in terms of its weakness and extensive lag time.
I think you can make a case that Presidents can’t do all that much to boost the economy, but they can sure do a heck of a lot (insane regulation, crony favoritism and electronic money-printing, to mention a few things) to mess one up.
Sorry, but the outstanding economic success we have had since TRUMP kicked The loser Obozzo out of office is no accident. The economic prosperity under Trump is unaparraled for any President in his first term in the history of the Republic.
Trump has proven himself to have the greatest understanding and mastery of how to make America prosperous of any leader we have ever known.
Oh, I see, so it’s only a coincidence that the economy under Reagan grew from .03% in 1980 to 4.1% in 1988. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
We Have been beaten down hard for 8 freakin years! I refuse to believe that prosperity is a bad thing!
Give us 8 years of prosperity and hang the ACA in Obamas narrow ***!
Complete B’S!
Veiled Threats Against Trump by
Deep State...HOG WASH.
WINNING!
Um no. Presidents always get the blame or the credit for the economy under their watch. You’re saying the “deep state” is going to tank the economy because they have the control and President Trump has little. However you said no one has control. Well, the modern economic benchmark was set by Obama and his dunderhead media LoL. Trump during his term in office is going to blast by Obama’s low bar - check that he already has. This President is the most economic minded president since Reagan. Trump is going to set the the bar much much higher.
Why post this stuff? I’d really like to know. Isn’t it enough to hear our President getting targeted 24/7 by the networks?
Exactly.
To say the presidents effect is minuscule is absurd.
How about you respond to the posters of YOUR thread? or was this just a drop and run piece?
Oh, you mean like yesterday when ABC put that trash out about him and the market dropped 300+ points? That kind of minuscule?
Great response to bs fake news.
GHW Bush notwithstanding, Obama had what is called “an L-shaped recovery.” The economy went straight to the bottom and stayed there.

Good morning, and thanks for the great question!
I think Trumps biggest mistake by far is keeping ANY ovomit holdovers. Every last one of them should’ve been clearing out their desks on 1-21-17.
BS!
Ask any of us with IRA’s or 401k’s about what has happened after Trump won the election and of course more since he became president.
One of our adult son’s on paper lost a significant 6 figure on his 401k. Since Trump was elected, that loss has been erased and has a great gain this year.
