OT: Trump taking credit for jobs that are the result of Obama's policies

Employers have been reacting and making decisions based on his election for 4+ months now.  It's all just a coincidence, I'm sure.

 

Rage on.

Incredible that the people that understand this the least are complaint the most

it would be akin to me critiquing modern art

the only job a Democrat has ever created is a government job

FOR THINKING PEOPLE AT LEAST

 

Consumer confidence would have to be near 75 by the end of Trump's term for him to be as successful as Barry O in this metric.

 

You're celebrated a FOUR POINT INCREASE when the very chart you posted shows Obama enjoyed a TWENTY FIVE POINT INCREASE

 

SMH

 

This so transparently absurd it boggles the mind.

Don't get me wrong, I still understand that the stable economy and steady growth due to the previous administration's policies are what made the jobs growth possible. I just do think there is always a boost when there is a promise of wealth transfer, which also almost always coincides with the election of a republican. 

 

 

At risk of changing the subject, but really only trying to be exclamatory... I'm more concerned about a possible Article V constitution attack/change than I am about whether or not Trump should get credit for coming into a steady growing economy and getting a nice jobs bump due to promising wealth transfer.

Try and focus.

Jobs.

Companies hire based on current (and at least as importantly) perceived future needs.

Trump was elected over four months ago.

But you want me to believe that jobs growth and consumer perception that has a direct affect on it are ignoring the catastrophe you claim occupies the WH and are going soley on the acts of a man who became a lame duck 4+ months ago.

 

Laughable on its face.

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.  I am tired of winning already. 

 

Trump is great  Obama sucks.  That should end this discussion between you and I xD.

Trump is triumphant.  I never claimed him to be anything but a supreme liar. 

Obama is a catastrophe and was a lame Duck so therefore anything over the last 6 Months are all Mr. Trumps success ¬¬

Now I am SMDH.  He has surrounded by these types.  A bunch of damn liars.  You can't debate liars or supporters of them.  I posted 2 sources because we know CNN is fake news.

I can only go from my vantage point on the ground in little ol' Moultrie, Ga., where I have great interest and see many people. I see it every election when a republican becomes president, that a lot of people/business owners, investors, etc. get all giddy and start greasing the wheels more than before with the past president. I call it perception of what they want and expect being better than before that creates this phenomenon. As you astutely pointed out, no new administration's policies can take effect quick enough to create the change that I witness on the ground, so it has to be perception that changed. 

 

 

I've noticed that myself... but misplaced perceptions usually affect investors and the stock market more than small businesses (job creators)

 

The spike in stock market gains are usually not sustainable enough to translate into real jobs. This process can take months iself

So while I agree it does provide a brief Reagonomic like boost to the overall economy, I believe it does very little for job growth

Trump has loads of issues, but he is injecting an economic confidence not seen in some time.

Obama has had the economy on a steady but mediocre and tepid course for years. Growth on GDP and jobs has been positive, but low. Many have fled the workforce, which appears to be reversing course now (though early days).

The stock market is in a bubble right now and has been for quite some time.  It has no business being where it is now nor where it was under Obama.

The economy has added jobs for 77 consecutive months, this is nothing more than the accumulated effects of moderate growth over that period.  Trump didn't create anything.  You bring more people into the job market over 6 years, that is what brings consumer confidence and corporations plans to expand and create jobs.

So by your faulty logic, employers had to have known Trump would be the president a long time ago.

 

I think it's safe to say YOU are having a problem understanding this.

 

which is no surprise

Stick around sir  We will revisit this topic in about a year or two.  People haven't magically came back because of him in these early days.

They would have known the night of November 8th.

Is that what you mean by "a long time ago"?

Employers make decisions based on past performance as well as current and projections.  A part of that confidence is based on the many months of historical job growth...under Obama.

Actually, Concha appears to be one of the few on here to recognize that people are not being hired at this point based on Barack Obama.

But why deal with that reality when you can get into dumbass creative writing mode.

Why stay on topic with a Trumpite.  That's why I didn't.  They never do. xD Watch Concha of Nicodemus that is a smart disciple.

-- If 235,000 jobs were added in February only because employers are happy Trump is President, then explain the 297,000 jobs added 8 months earlier...

Does Concha and DLSPOPS even realize jobs growth actually took a hit the month after Trump was elected .

 

These are the type of viewpoints even other republicans would cringe at

Hiring decisions weren't going to change on a dime and "the hit" was negligible.

Up until the election, it looked like Hillary would win.

Post the actual results, we've seen lots of major announcements regarding job creation in the US, including decisions to either retain operations in the US or new investment. You must have missed these as they might not have been covered on Comedy Central.

Your critical thinking skills are seriously lacking.

Perhaps they were to make up for the 43k the month before that.

 

The rage monkeys are on fire.
