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.

MAGA.

Fish on...

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.

Trump's next magic trick that is saving us and the World in general is really turning around the unemployment rate, especially among Black folks, who, of course, really love Trump.

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!

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.

Fish on...

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.

Fish on...

Let's do the math.

11 trillion in 8 years.
1.5 trillion in 1 year.

Looking at your chart again, another words Obama doubled the total national debt of all 43 preceding presidents combined. applause

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.

Don't forget that Trump has given the military the "first pay raise in ten years" and the "biggest pay raise ever!"...lol

His sycophants are eating it up...and though it's hard for Military Times to have to call out Tweeto as being a dumbass, they kinda had to here.

https://www.militarytimes.com/pay-benefi...s-for-a-decade/

I guess it's kind of them to say "he's confused" rather than the more obvious truth that he is just flat out making schit up.

Again.
