I circled it in red for ya. ;)



We can add chart comprehension to your growing list of inept skills.

The red line is the % of unemployed. The blue line is the dates. As you can clearly see now that I have explained to you how charts work. The unemployment % has decreased dramatically since 2016.
Unemployment was on a practically linear drop since 2010.

The language isn't the point (I only mentioned it in the spoiler as a warning and explanation of why I put it there) It was the content. Keep in mind Trump was just recently married at the time this all took place.

So?

Of a married woman: "I moved on her like a B***h" (Kind of a goofy word to use, but after all this is Trump)

Because every Republican understands a guy moving on his wife like a B***h. :thumbsup:

As in ***** in heat



Further dialog: "I gotta use some Tic Tacs in case I start kissing her. Yeah, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women. I just start kissing 'em. . . And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."

You never heard of sluts or golddiggers?

And of course, every Republican is fine with a man grabbing a woman by the p****, even if it's one's wife, sister, or daughter. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Which is within the context of some women being sluts to the rich. Which does happen. Look at hollywood

Actually that circle around 2016 indicates a rebound from a previous dip. So not tanking.

Booker is a Senator and is running for POTUS. Harris is a DA, a totalitarian one (look up her defense of fake confessions) and running for POTUS.
Admittedly, I don't pay much attention to who's running until it starts to thin out as it gets closer to the election. Right now everyone and their mom has their hat in the ring.

The tanking took place in 2014-2015 which is when candidates were campaigning.
I wouldn't call it tanking and nothing Trump did caused the upsurge in 2016. The economy tanked in 2009. That is a tanked economy.

He got elected in 2016. The markets respond to Presidential elections. And GoP Presidents are usually known for reducing regulations which the market usually responds positively to.

The Influence of Presidential Elections on the Stock Market
The markets may, but GDP does not. That chart is GDP. The markets have been on an upward trend since 2009. The old switcharoo is not working for you. The major economic trend since 2009 has been positive. Those periods of stock selloff were part of global trends that were still not the economy tanking.

So you think because they had a crappy 2014 and 2015 under Obama. Decided to support Trump to fix it, then look at a chart that covers some marginal growth in the first half of 2016

No - year on year 2014 and 2015 had growth of 2.5% and 2.9% respectively. Still no "tanking" there. By the time Trump announced his campaign in June 2015, GDP had been growing year on year for six consecutive years at an average of just above 2%. There just was no "tanking".

By that time unemployment had also been steadily declining for six straight years and had reached 5.3% - below the 5.6% average rate since 1948. Unemployment was not "through the roof" at all.

As you pointed out - even you had a job throughout that whole period...as did over 95% of the workforce by election time...so who are all these people who were having such a "crappy 2014 and 2015 under Obama" that they were prompted to abandon their principles and vote for a man who stands in such stark contrast to their "Christian" principles because of "unemployment" and a "tanking" economy?

Gonna have to block you now like Subduction because you can't debate in good faith.
What is not in good faith? I have presented actual data - from reliable sources - you have just continued to talk through your hat...or something. You block me out all you like - you can even stick your fingers in your ears and shout "not listening, not listening..." - but it won't change any of the facts.

But wouldn't the market response to an election result normally happen after there is an election result rather than before? And correct me if I am wrong, but was a Trump win thought to be the most likely outcome in the first half of 2016? I seem to recall that this was not the popular opinion at the time.

I believe a Trump win was not anticipated all the way up to the point where he actually won. Somehow, his unanticipated win had some sort of reverse chronological quantum tunneling effect on the economy just prior to his win that substituted alternative facts for the real ones. Could have been magic too.

I am not sure I want to stick around and watch a weak argument be run over by overwhelming facts.
I was actually conducting a quantitative experiment to determine just how much lipstick could be smeared on such a pig of an argument before giving up - I guess I have my answer now!

I do that sometimes too. It can be fun.

Not to the point the left overreacts. You'd think Trump smacked their momma and ran over their cat!

I get that there is political grandstanding, but at the same time...nuclear bombs? War? More like Trump smacked their human sense of decency and ran over a reasonable person's sense of self-preservation.
