It won’t be long now. Another republican economic disaster. We will have to come in to clean up after another one term republican administration. Good thing Dems know how to govern because the GOP never does.

So you were expecting Try,p to take responsibility for something? THAT'S funny.

How do you know it was 'to distance himself from the stock market losses?' He's been hard on the Fed throughout his Presidency. It's this kind of mind reading nonsense and constant mischaracterizations that make people despise 'journalists.'

And we can thank the msm and Democrats for causing all this panic....Lay offs soon to follow...

Trump can not distance himself from stock market losses if he takes credit when the market is up. It doesn't work that way.

javmaher9 And just how will Trump pay for this economy jump start?

The Obama recovery wasn't. Jay Powell popped the everything bubble when he raised rates. In that regard, djt was right (again).

And not a single insult when the stocks were performing well.

Hard to see how it's his fault. He's the only one not panicking.

Keep on punching ABC,not going to help... MAGA2020Landslide

Insults 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Of course. When the market was going up, realDonaldTrump took credit (wrongly) for it. Now that it has gone down, he says he isn't responsible. What a moron!

we need a federal mandate to stop all passenger flights and ships allowing only cargo so we can get our money back

CAN'T TRUMP EVER SHUT UP!!!! WE NEED A REAL PRESIDENT!!!!
