If you want to get stupid and say this is Trumps doing then I will get stupid and point out that it's been flat for a year.


The Fed and the dems strong showing at the midterms dampened people's outlook and optimism, halting the market's climb.


So not only is the President directly responsible for the stock market, mid-term elections have an even more powerful impact and can override the President, the world economy etc. I learn something every day here.

So does that same reasoning apply to the debt too? With record levels of debt, are the Dems responsible for that since the mid-terms too or does that only apply to things when they are good?

This is all very confusing.
