It’s the bat signal for “yeah but …” posts.

They are going to point out that a few months ago these numbers were revised so they are meaningless now.

If Trump happens to win, he'll get to claim responsibility for all of this good data while things hum along for a few years, before he screws it up toward the end of his term so the next Dem president in 2028 has to clean it up again. A vicious cycle we're in since Clinton.

Then post election the numbers will be revised downward significantly like always.

Has Trump taken credit for the roaring stock market yet?

Probably, but not significantly. The trend during Biden’s 4 years has been hugely positive. Avoided the recession everyone was predicting back in ‘21 and working with the Fed, it looks like a “soft landing” is a real probability. Inflation has been effectively reduced and under control. Supply chains have been re-established. New industries have been accommodated here in the US and making us less vulnerable to foreign influences.

The stock market is at an all time high, yep, the one trump said would crash like you've never seen before. Like he knows anything about business other than screwing many others out of their rightful money they have coming, then takes bankruptcy 6 times. Hard to figure why anyone with a brain would fall for that crap. OK, may there is an answer.................................

I think he just did. He said the market is up because they think he'll win.🤣

None of these are jobs estimates.

Try again.

He may have swung and missed but give him credit for showing up. He's the only MAGA that's done it.

Nice work, Brandon and Comrade!

This. If Trump wins the economy will instantly go from turrible to the best ever. Inflation will not exist. If you are unemployed you will be labeled as lazy. Drops in the stock market will be blamed on the Soros types pulling the levers behind the curtains, or probably just a computer glitch.
If it's good it's because of Trump. If it's bad it's because of some nefarious outside group trying to make Trump look bad.

Crazy liberals at the Wall Street Journal have some thoughts on the economy - “The Next President Inherits a Remarkable Economy.”
