Irish, While the stock market went up during the reign of terror of nObama, the actual economy smelled like washed ashore dead carp in 90 degree heat. I believe you know the reason the markets were up was because of Fed intervention, and nothing to do with “Renegades” economic wizardry.
Now, reconcile Zeros stock market/economy with the current stock market/economy under Very Stable Genius President Donald J Trump. What would an objective, reasonable, non-partisan observer see? The dichotomy is glaringly obvious.
The markets over the last 2 plus years have gone up despite Fed tightening, a sign of the overall and underlying economic strength (for various specific reasons/policies of the Trump Administration), of the United States.
Many people conflate stock market prosperity with economic health. These are the same types of fools who really believe that the current market/economy are extensions of the past occupier of the Oval. Those folks aren’t just misinformed, they’re deeply disturbed and delusional.
