Larry doesn’t deserve credit for having active brain cells.

Well there you go. Thanks Larry for sharing your TDS with us.

The DJIA is just waiting to see how well Germany does.

It’s what they do. /s

That makes sense. Even though the news was all bad during Ebola’s “rule”, it was actually Boosh’s fault, so similarly any good news now can’t be Trump’s doing. [/s]

Many other stock markets have outperformed those here.

So other stock markets are up 46.546% since the early morning of November 7th, 2016?

Should have listened to financial wizard Paul Krugman, and multiple other soothsayer rats back at the close of ‘16, would have been rich by now.

Er, yes he does.
Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy has never had a real job until you fools quota’d him into the presidency.
And he failed the hell out of that position.
Face it, libs, your guy is dumber than a rock...er...journalist.

Just another flatulent spouting academic who still has not gotten over the election. He might also be the most arrogant, conceited, irritating imbecile on the planet. The only person who takes him seriously is the image in the mirror. Kudos to Trump.

How much would you like to bet that if the economic numbers had been awful, Summers would have placed all of the blame at the feet of Donald J. Trump?

Every time I read the comments after a story in the Post or the NY Times, I am aghast at how stupid and vile the anti-Trump crowd is. It’s disheartening to see how many adults are that delusional.

Inevitably, attention will focus on whether the president projects a commitment to internationalist values or reiterates his truculent nationalism...

No, that is not "inevitable," Summers. What is inevitable is that other countries are going to want to know how they can get on the gravy train, too. What a miserable lead for the article.

At least he is now admitting that the economy is doing well. I was wondering how they Dems were going to spin that one.

Sorry, Lawrence, but Trump does get ALL the credit.

You Leftists tried for 8 years to sell us on Obama’s economy (low job creation, low wages, low economic growth, etc.) as the ‘new normal’.

If you check, this current boom began November 9, 2016. That is the morning AFTER Trump was elected.

Yeah, Lawrence, it started with the election of Trump and has been booming ever since — in one year, bypassing most of the ‘new normal’ levels of Obama’s 8 years. That is what happens when a business man is elected president, rather than a community organizer.
