I am so sick and tired of all this WINNING. 

Democrats sure aren't tired of losing though. They will be doing it for 5 more years.

Trump exemplifies everything the world loves to hate about Americans. Brash, overbearing, uncouth and bullying. However, he brings a new “value” to the table; that of lying and cheating (so 2 values actually). 
 

I doubt that he is liked by any world leader, though I am sure they love having him as the butt of their jokes. Quite sad actually. 

Yeah but they wish they were as popular as him and do for their economy what he has done for the states. Just go ask Macron.

I am an investor like that. I am making more than I ever dreamed. I am not that smart I just save and invest. I buy MA I don't use Mastercard. The figures are astounding under Trump. I will be a millionaire soon.

 

Unless Bernie gets elected of course. 50% of Americans are about to get huge gains. The rest poop on the streets of SF. 

 

I buy from people like you.

Same boat. Almost.

 

Self taught investor.  Allowed me to retire very comfortably at the age of 56.  As I have aged, I have taken profits and slowly converted the riskier mutual funds to less risk or cash.  I'm about 50% invested at this point.

 

During this latest virus scare and market decline, that was STOCKS ON SALE!  I bought big.  ????

Less than 50% approval rating. Yes, hugely popular. As for the economy, he is just riding on the coattails of what Obama set in motion. Don’t take my word for it. Study the charts.

Have made money on just about every Trump tweet. These days even 16 year olds are buying stocks. It is causing demand that the brokerage houses are puzzled by. 

 

You can buy $10 of Amazon now. The stock market has been democratized. There is no bar to get involved like in the past.

It's because America is so much stronger than people give it credit for. Positive interest rates are always a good start.

Polls have been telling us about horrible Trump since 2015.  Still believe national approval polls in presidential elections? 

 

I believe the 7,000 to 15,000 showings at Trump rallies (and thousands more camping out overnight) compared to 75 Democrats in a hotel meeting room.

A partisan, Democrat sham by deranged Democrats was defeated. It's a great day to be an American. President Trump should throw a big party.

Don't worry!

He will!

All on Taxpayer's account, of course!

Where I live in a swing state the Trump signs are up and go on as far as the eye can see.

It doesn't puzzle me.

 

I see two things happening.  First, people are learning to invest in and improve their financial standing.  Individual Liberty and Equal Opportunity a wonderful thing. 

 

The second is that it reminds me of the shoeshine boys buying stocks just before the Great Depression.  I'm not losing my mind over that because there has to be "real" economic indicators that will have any impact.  It doesn't happen overnight unless one isn't paying attention to outside forces.

Indeed, how could a mere movie come close to encapsulating the harrowing physical and mental anguish, extremes of courage and fortitude, no, let us not mince  words, the sheer guts, displayed by the leading warrior of the free world throughout his epic battles against bone spurs, all those years ago - throughout the time he was eligible for the draft...

Mutual funds provided more safety for me.

There are lies , damn lies and then there is Trump. 

 

If Trump's record approval rating goes up another 19 points, he will overtake Richard Nixon and his highest approval rating will no longer be the lowest of any modern president. If he brings it up 22 points, he'll be tied with Gerald Ford, but it would take a 26-point boost for him to ascend the dizzy heights reached by Jimmy Carter.

Bill Clinton also saw his approval rate hit a record high after he was impeached: 73%. By the time he was acquitted 2 months later, it had dipped a little, to 68%.

Oh and even if he was the most popular man in the universe , ever ,  so what , doesn't count for jack poo in my world. Oh and let's not forget the inauguration.

The results posted were specifically related to his SOTU, not overall approval. You're trying to win an argument that isn't being made.

He will be great if he is not immoral, unethical, lying, cheating etc etc and associate with criminals behind bars. When he release his tax returns.

Trump has got the economy booming despite having been constantly distracted by the confected outrage of the Dems.  One con only imagine how good it would be if the Dems were not deliberately trying to hold it back.   

 

Interesting to to see what outrage they now come up with to see out the rest of his first term.  No doubt they will continue to flog this dead horse too.

Yes, their hate for Trump has caused them to block policies and programs that would be good for all Americans.  It's been so consistent that voters have had a difficult time ignoring it.

Good idea to keep some cash on hand for the next downturn. The best buys I made were after the crash in 2008. There were some great stocks on sale.

The hidden worst part of Donald Trump's unhinged impeachment victory speech

 

Less than 24 hours after formally being acquitted by the Senate, President Donald Trump riffed for over an hour from inside the White House -- a vengeful, angry, fact-challenged spew of score-settling that even for this most unorthodox of presidents was eye-opening in its tone and jaw-dropping in its boundary busting

 

Interesting Fox news saying he has never witnessed a press conference like this. LOL trump cult feeding frenzy
