is on track to become the first trillion dollar company in the world, with a $920 billion market cap and a cash pile of $167 billion after $100 billion in expected stock buybacks. 15 years ago I thought AOL would be the first trillion dollar company.....how times have changed. I think Apple is bargain right now.

I am especially impressed how they used their gigantic taxpayer funded tax cuts to buy back $100 Billion in stocks, instead of "creating jobs" and "raising wages", as is what the GOP always says will happen when they give big corporations massive giveaways.
I guess that's a bit unfair...I am sure it will create a few more jobs for yacht builders, and the top execs sure as hell got gigantic wage increases.
The sleepy US economy Trump inherited is starting to awaken.
Gross National Product in the United States increased to an all time record high of 17469.21 USD Billion.
The US unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent in April 2018 from 4.1 percent in the previous month, and below market expectations of 4 percent. It was the lowest rate since December 2000.
Full time employment has increased replacing lower part time employment while living wage family, living wage individual, wages high skilled and wages low skilled have all increased.
US Jobless Rate Drops to Near 17-1/2-Year Low US Economy Adds 164K Jobs in April US Initial Jobless Claims Lowest Since 1969 US Factory Growth Highest Since 2014: PMI US March Industrial Output Growth Stronger than Expected US GDP Growth Beats Forecasts in Q1 US Durable Goods Orders Rise More than Expected in March US Retail Trade Rebound Stronger than Expected
MAGA is happening in spite of the Main Stream Media continual negative propaganda campaign against Trump and his administration.

To believe that is attributable to Trump defies reality. Just following the same trend line those have been following since the Bush crash was turned around.

Gas prices are what is making me excited.
I couple more fill ups and my share of the big tax cut will be gone.
Solid effort.
I bet Putin is upset about all the additional money flowing in though.

Here you can clearly see how that Socialist Nigerian Marxist Kenyan tried to ruin the stock market because he hates America and your mom, and you can clearly see how Trump has really turned it around since 2017.

We all know, however, that people don't really care about any of that stuff, so long as they have a job...and while it's been a tough row to hoe since Obama exorcised billions of jobs from the US workforce in his true America-hating way, Trump has really reversed the trend.

At the end of the day, though, even though it's blatantly obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head firmly placed right up their ass (or can't see around Trump's balls bouncing off their chin), GDP is the ONLY thing that matters...all the rest is just fluff.
Here's how Trump has really reversed the declining GDP trend that Obama perpetrated on America.

Everyone knows Trump has great ideas...the BEST ideas, everyone says so!...the obvious fact of the matter is that he has done absolutely nothing except bumble around, watching cable news, and golfing three times as much as his predecessors combined.
I, for one, am glad that he is just dottering around and doing nothing, because his fat ass isn't in the way of continuing all the growth and prosperity that Obama started after Bush's tax cuts ruined the economy in 2008. Of course Trump's trillions of dollars giveaway to the biggest of corporations from this "middle class tax cut" will do that again to some extent, thankfully he will be gone soon and that can be forestalled, I hope, before it does the same thing Bush's did.
I know, I know..."fake news"...facts do tend to have a clear liberal bias, and facts and the GOP have parted way in even more significant ways than ever before, but those charts are just numbers...not spin, not "news", and certainly not "fake news"...they just show that Trump's only contribution to the country so far is that he's too stupid and too busy golfing to actually do anything at all.
None of this really matters, though, because everyone in the GOP knows that the National Debt and the Budget Deficit are the things that all Nigerian Socialist Kenyan Marxist America Haters like to blow up to ruin us all and install Sharia Law...thankfully Trump arrived just in time to save us all from utter ruin by turning those around! Whew!
The attached chart you provided shows that the National debt increased from around $8T- 19T in Obama's 8 years in office doubling the previous total existing national debt. It shows about a $1.5T increase for Trump. After Trump signed the last budget he stated it could be the last budget he will sign with that much pork. We'll see.
I agree that the national debt does matter since the higher the interest rate the more interest paid back to a point until the principle can't be paid back. The reason interest rates have been so low for so long is the central banks don't want to kill the gift that keeps on giving--yet

Considering that every reputable economist says that Trump's giveaway to the ultra-rich will add, at the very least, an additional trillion dollars to the debt, I suspect the GOP will be reconsidering their stance that the debt is the worse thing in the world.
This is no surprise, they far outspend Democrats every time they get the chance, difference being instead of spending on things that help the citizenry, they spend it all on a handful of people who help themselves.
They are, and have been, the worst of the drunken sailors. The pretend concept that they are the party of fiscal responsibility ended decades ago with Reagan, even they can't say it with a straight face anymore.
The Trump ball garglers can, of course, but as shown above their tenuous grip on reality has gone from tenuous to completely nonexistent...so no surprises there.

Let's do the math.
11 trillion in 8 years. 1.5 trillion in 1 year.

Solid work on the typical GargleFest by ignoring 98% of what is going on, and focus on a tiny thing that is mostly irrelevant to the conversation.
What about your assertions about all that Trump has done, when it's obvious that he has done virtually nothing at all except golf while previous trends on all those metrics just continue as they have, except for the few that have actually gotten worse?
Nevermind. "But Obama...and But Hillary!" are the usual responses. You don't have to say them.

The worst part about the MAGARGLERS is that showing them easily verifiable facts about all of their dubious assertions is an absolute exercise in futility.
Lucky Louie will still believe what he said, even if it is in direct contravention to the truth, and obviously so.
This, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with Trump supporters.
They don't care about facts, they don't care about the truth, and they don't care about America...they care that Trump tells them what they want to hear, and facts, truth, and what is good for our country be damned.

You people need to wake up and see what's happening, this system has reached beyond the end of its shelf life and is collapsing, bubbles will begin to pop soon, housing bubbles in Canada, Australia and Europe are popping now, USA is next.
Companies like Apple, facebook are going to vaporize, your money is gone anyways so spend it all now, buy physical assets which have inherent value.
Its a bit early but Ill say it now "I told you so"....

Ok, say the whole world collapses this Tuesday, while you and Evo are saying “I told you so”, we will be working, surviving, and rebuilding, and we will get the world back to functioning. Than when we get it back, you guys will be living on government cheese still due to dissabilities and telling us its all about to break again, nearly every day. Which backs up my claim that we should simply consume you guys and make you at least help us be productive and help in fixing the world.

Didn't know we had so many(too many?) partisan hacks on here. Toff would make a wonderful car salesman, with or without the charts and graphs. Here is the Malt Liquer truth...... In 3 years, if the stock market is still moving along, N. Korea is contained, everyone but Evo is rolling in their tax cuts, and unemployment is around 4%, it won't matter who the Dems send up.....probably some socialist dumbass, and we enjoy another 4 yrs of Slo's hero. The only way the tides are turned is with a moderate, not some progressive clown that tries to appease everyone.

If only there was an expert federal aviation type agency out there that could figure this out. An agency that has examined numerous airline crashes that has the forensic ability to find the minute residue of explosive materials or scorched/burn marks on wiring and metal crash debris.

i also have had friends that have killed themselves... my friend Maynard 4 or so months ago blew his head off in front of his ex wife because his cousin lied to the police and said he did something he didnt do, with his record, he would have gotten life in prison....
so he did what he had to do i guess...
my life is fine....

Back from mini-vacation,
Well aren’t you a self-righteous pompous jack-ass.
Like stated before, I’m not affiliated with either of the two major parties so I don’t keep score like you do. My enthusiasm comes with combined Trump deregulations and huge tax cuts that should continue to promote expansion growth and more jobs.
I believe were I left off was commenting on the national debt chart you provided about how Obama doubled the national debt from all the total previous 43 presidents combined.
The potential problems are laid out below in the article by Kimberly Amadeo
“The interest payment only on the national debt in fiscal year 2019 will be $363 billion dollars, and will balloon to $761 billion in ten years or more with continued rising interest rate becoming the second largest budget item after social security. Over the long term, a growing federal debt is like driving with the emergency brake on. As the debt-to-GDP ratio increases, debt holders could demand larger interest payments. They want compensation for an increasing risk they won't be repaid. Diminished demand for U.S. Treasurys would further increase interest rates. That would slow the economy. Lower demand for Treasurys also puts downward pressure on the dollar. That's because the dollar's value is tied to the value of Treasury Securities. As the dollar declines, foreign holders get paid back in currency that is worth less. That further decreases demand. Also, many foreign holders of U.S. debt are investing more in their own countries. At that point, the United States will have to pay exorbitant amounts just for the interest. The amount of federal spending today points to high interest payments on the debt in the near future. Congress realizes it is facing a debt crisis. Over the next 20 years, the Social Security Trust Fund won't have enough to cover the retirement benefits promised to baby boomers. That could mean higher taxes once the high U.S. debt rules out further loans from other countries. Congress is more likely to curtail benefits than raise taxes. That would primarily affect retirees younger than 70. It might also hit those who are high income and not as dependent on Social Security payments to fund their retirement.” https://www.thebalance.com/the-u-s-debt-and-how-it-got-so-big-3305778
Guess what? An increasing percentage of the world is running away from the US dollar and time to pay the piper is coming sooner than later.
Who needs enemies to emt/nuke the US when the US is destroying itself by self-debt implosion?

…. But on a happier note, moving onto the US unemployment rate as it continues to drop to a 17 ½ year low like stated above. March 2018, showed a rarity that there was a job available for every person collecting unemployment.
A good sign is part time jobs are decreasing as full time job are increasing. Also, in the last couple weeks I have spoken to 2 business owners and 1 manager for a business that I know and they are all saying basically the same thing. The newer employees are giving notice to move to better paying jobs. Their option is to pay more or let them go. So it looks like a continued jump in wages as time passes especially since it can be somewhat more affordable now with money saved by Trump’s significant tax cuts.
The stock market must have liked what Trump was cooking considering they are usually ahead of the curve by 6-12 months. The DOW increased about 10,000 points from about 16,600 to a record setting appox. 26,600 points before dropping and now settling in around 25,000 points today.
Glad to hear Parker has had good fortune with Apple stock.

Back from mini-vacation,
Well aren’t you a self-righteous pompous jack-ass.
Like stated before, I’m not affiliated with either of the two major parties so I don’t keep score like you do. My enthusiasm comes with combined Trump deregulations and huge tax cuts that should continue to promote expansion growth and more jobs.
I believe were I left off was commenting on the national debt chart you provided about how Obama doubled the national debt from all the total previous 43 presidents combined.
The potential problems are laid out below in the article by Kimberly Amadeo
“The interest payment only on the national debt in fiscal year 2019 will be $363 billion dollars, and will balloon to $761 billion in ten years or more with continued rising interest rate becoming the second largest budget item after social security. Over the long term, a growing federal debt is like driving with the emergency brake on. As the debt-to-GDP ratio increases, debt holders could demand larger interest payments. They want compensation for an increasing risk they won't be repaid. Diminished demand for U.S. Treasurys would further increase interest rates. That would slow the economy. Lower demand for Treasurys also puts downward pressure on the dollar. That's because the dollar's value is tied to the value of Treasury Securities. As the dollar declines, foreign holders get paid back in currency that is worth less. That further decreases demand. Also, many foreign holders of U.S. debt are investing more in their own countries. At that point, the United States will have to pay exorbitant amounts just for the interest. The amount of federal spending today points to high interest payments on the debt in the near future. Congress realizes it is facing a debt crisis. Over the next 20 years, the Social Security Trust Fund won't have enough to cover the retirement benefits promised to baby boomers. That could mean higher taxes once the high U.S. debt rules out further loans from other countries. Congress is more likely to curtail benefits than raise taxes. That would primarily affect retirees younger than 70. It might also hit those who are high income and not as dependent on Social Security payments to fund their retirement.” https://www.thebalance.com/the-u-s-debt-and-how-it-got-so-big-3305778
Guess what? An increasing percentage of the world is running away from the US dollar and time to pay the piper is coming sooner than later.
Who needs enemies to emt/nuke the US when the US is destroying itself by self-debt implosion?
...and increasing our debt by another trillion or two (that's what people who understand economics say the great tax cut will create over the next 10 years) is going to help that?
I DO think it will help Trump get re-elected, but I fail to see how that's a GOOD thing. What will be the next piece of our children's future mortgaged to make the rich richer? Is there anything left for them to borrow or steal?
Sorry to hurt your feelings, Louie, I forget that the loudmouth self-righteous pricks on the right don't like being called on their [Bleeeeep!], and melt like a snowflake in June.
I will be gentler, I promise.

You got it all wrong.
I didn’t call you a self-righteous pompous jack-ass out of anger, being upset or hurt feelings.
I called you a self-righteous pompous jack-ass because of exaggerated sanctimonious content.
Continue as accustomed…

Sanctimonious...
This is coming from a guy who clearly lives in an echo chamber...no wonder it seems surprising when the actual facts don't match your narrative when "research" includes just reading right wing rags that fortify your beliefs.

You're describing yourself to a tee, in a 180 kind of way...
