He completely exited the North American markets. I continued putting my regular amounts into an S&P 500 tracker. Annulaised returns of 15% since. I'm not jealous but I do always get a good wind-up from my friend when I bring it up

Actually the USA my be at its strongest since the end of WWII (when we were the strongest nation in the world). Labor participation rate is breaking records and unemployment is at historic lows. Wages are increasing at a faster levels for the lower income folks than those at the top. The stock market keeps breaking record highs. Congress has finally passed the new USA/Mexico/Canada trade deal which will create many new create jobs here and in those two countries. And China has agreed to a historic trade deal. Trump was right when he was campaigning back in the 2016 election that under his leadership we could begin to get tired of so much winning. So Donald Trump has earned the title of Mr. President, and then some. Jealous much?

The unemployment rate is low and jobs high because many have to take up 2-3 jobs just to pay bills and support their families. That is not healthy. Speaking of, their health care system is an absolute disgrace, and the highest incidences of filing for bankruptcy there is due to inability to pay medical bills. Cost of 3rd level education is through the roof and millions are left deeply in debt they can't get out of, preventing saving, buying a house, going on holiday's, paying bills, rearing a family, etc. The country is deeply divided socially and has huge problems with racism and gun violence. There is no mandatory paid holidays (vacation) nor is there any entitlement to family or maternity leave. Their infrastructure is aging and all of this could be resolved and sorted out but their government chooses to spend more money on their military than the next 7 major countries combined, or something like that. And finally, they're even only doing as economically well as they are thanks to OBAMA, not Trump. Trump hasn't earned or achieved sh*t.

notobtuse wrote: » Yes President Trump is the 3rd US president to be impeached. And he will be the 3rd US president to be exhonerated. But in doing so Nancy Pelosi has adulterated the impeachment process. Now being impeached means next to nothing in the eyes of the voters because Pelosi proved it has nothing to do with treason, high crimes or misdemeanors, it is now simply a political ploy from a party that will do anything to make a president from another party look bad. And she has made it that when a president going forward, in which the opposing political party controls the House, they will find some reason to impeach that president. Nancy Pelosi should slither back to the scum pond she spawned from for what she has done to this country.

The absolutes are higher for Trump (as they would be given that he started with a very strong economy) but his % Improvements are quite a way behind. He hasn't broken the economy yet (although lots of evidence to suggest that the bubble he created with his tax cuts will come home to roost fairly soon), but he really hasn't done anything to accelerate it either. Overall , Trump has created less jobs and has added less value to the Stock Market than every President since Reagan at the same point in their Presidencies , with the exception of GWB. TL;DR Trump, starting from a very high base has hit a number of "highs" , but overall his economic performance on a % basis is mediocre at best when compared to any other President in the last 40 years.

And when will the left finally retire that old unpersuasive argument… It’s really Obama’s good economy, not Trumps? It’s absurd not to give Trump credit for the current state of the economy and jobs market. The moment Trump took office the financial markets soared and haven’t looked back, despite a few minor corrections. The economic optimism that fueled growth, wages and jobs were a direct result from policies that Obama and the Democrats opposed… lower taxes and regulatory reform. And no one can predict how long the positive trends will last or not, or whether it might be undermined by other policies.
