    Joe pockets is right. Potential risks in conflicts of interests and national security.  For example, Trump owes Deutsche bank hundreds of millions.  Trump's global business empire raises concerns among ethics experts about foreign influence.  Over 100 companies in 18 countries.  Unlike other presidents, Trump has refused to sell or give up control to an independent blind trust.  Now he faces multiple investigations.

    If trumps campaign took money from foreign interests and those interests were placed into a slush hush fund by Mmicheal Cohen. Who has turned states evidence. Mulleur could intangle this with his russian collusion case.

    We could be seeing the pattern of Nixon's decline in public popularity.  And Trumpsdecline to impeachment.

    There's Russian money all around us, at all times. In our government, in our stock market. In real estate. The question we should be asking is, "What does that say about our economy?" rather than, "What does that say about our President/ the election?"

    Not sure how to explain this but our government is the largest economic partner in the world. The us GDP is between 10 trillion and 20 trillion per year per study.

    We spend furnish ECT to this number 5 trillion a year of which one trillion we borrow from the federal reserve omg foreign government rd and business partnership. In forms of treasury bonds savings bonds extra then spend these primarily on the military defense contracts for advanced weapons systems . Who in turn advance more cash into more hedge funds aquireing more assets.

    We can not sustain this rate of spending with interest rates set to normalize around 5 percent in the next five years.

    And after all that no one has even mentioned the hundreds of billions in T-bills the Chinese are holding. We don't borrow from the federal reserve as though it is some sort of bank. They sell bonds and T-bills to cover the shortage between taxing and spending. Those bonds and T-bills are sold to foreigners like Russia and China; literally, from anyone with a spare buck to lend us. 

    MAGA by enormous foreign debt. What is wrong with that picture?

    BTW Trumper-thumpers, Bill Clinton was the last president that gave you a balanced budget and paid down the foreign debt, but that was in the last millennium. 

    The debt ceiling will have to be raised (again) between August and October, but of course Bush's foreign adventures and Trumps tax cut have nothing to do with that. Neither does the truckloads of waste the Pentagon dumps or the corporate welfare Republicans love so much. All of it is do to the Democrats foolish attempts to protect the social safety net

    BTW Trumper-thumpers, Bill Clinton was the last president that gave you a balanced budget and paid down the foreign debt, but that was in the last millennium. 

    The debt ceiling will have to be raised (again) between August and October, but of course Bush's foreign adventures and Trumps tax cut have nothing to do with that. Neither does the truckloads of waste the Pentagon dumps or the corporate welfare Republicans love so much. All of it is do to the Democrats foolish attempts to protect the social safety net

    BTW KeyElement,,,In each fiscal year under Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001, the gross federal debt increased. shifting it from one lender to another and by opening that lock-box.

    However,Clinton,and the GOP Congress, should be recognized for the fact,, that Government spending grew very slowly during the Clinton years..quite an accomplishment..

    ..and lets not lose sight of the fact that the top holder by far of America's debt is U.S. citizens and American entities..Foreign nations only hold a little over 32% of the total....

    Before the markets opened on Wednesday and prior to the DOW making a miraculous comeback..Americans got a great tip from our President..

    President Trump "I think it's a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy."

    And what if he said "it's a tremendous opportunity to sell?"

    The market has one decent day in 3 weeks & you sound like some kind of tout still selling his snake oil.

    What a lame response. But he didn't & you again avoid answering the question.  

    If he wants to & you want to give him credit when the market is up, don't go hiding under the bed when the market is down.

    The market is a highly volatile thing and he shouldn't receive ultimate credit for any of it, good or bad. When he was elected, investor confidence was high because everyone knew a big businessman would be a friend to big business. Tax cuts, deregulation, ect. Market went up. This is because of him. Tariffs on China. Threats of a government shutdown, market goes down. This is because of him as well. With that said, the root of all the market's moves are just the volatile, and downright ridiculous, nature of the market itself. Our whole economy hinges on the exact same system as the freaking trading card industry. The more people that deem something valuable, the more people that want to buy it, the stock price goes up. Do you know how many tech companies have had multibillion dollar IPOs without showing a business model of how they will be profitable. Think about that. We're not talking the Apples that make a tangible product, or the googles who even before branching out were bringing in ridiculous ad revenue. We're talking companies with zero revenue. "...but my kid visits that site all the time. Must be a good investment."

    Given Trump more than his due of praise, or blame, for any of it is insane. And it really just boils down and another point for you guys to argue about.
