some freeper told me that trump likes to keep his friends close and enemy closer....

the art of war say nothing about ‘too close that they backstab you’ part... not once, twice, but multiple times.

i believe ted cruz and marco rubio will backstab trump again when the wind changes.

When I went to work in April 1982, the stock market, which had not set an all-time high for SIXTEEN YEARS, was around 700. When Reagan left office, it was nearly 400% higher.

When Reagan left office , the Dow was about 2200.

Really? You think the populace NOW is more intelligent than back in the 1980s? I guess we are seeing things through different filters.

Exactly, the Trump economy benefitted everyone but the common man benefitted most. Reagan’s was more of a trickle down thing, but still much better than anything going back a couple of decades.

Reagan was the right President for the issues, problems, and opportunities of the 1980s.

Trump was and is the right President for the issues, problems, and opportunities of today.

Well, don’t read it. I’m sure I’ll survive.

Too bad you can’t accept reality. The stats are all easily verified.

The best I can come up with is end of 1980 is 892 and the end of his term it was about 2,343.

Percentage is off because I can’t confirm April 1982, but I do remember how we would go into the quote room and watch the bull market take off.

Objectively today voters on average are much stupider.

A fact for which there is no excuse. We didn't have the internet in the 1980s, information was for most people filtered through the Leftist Piranhas in Big Media. OTOH, Big Media was less blatant about its bias then ... Bill Buckley and Milton Friedman were on PBS of all things. That would not happen today.

My bad, I did not think stupider was a word because the folks I hang out would say more stupid. After doing a search, I have edumacated myself and realize that stupider is indeed grammatically correct.

Reagan still had higher paying blue collar jobs back then.

Those jobs are gone now thanks to free trade. Take a wild guess when that started.
