group literally saved the country from the 2nd worst economic crisis in history.

I guess you could argue whether it was 2nd or 3rd, not an expert but I know it was a big one.

Obama saved our asses, period.

In fact, the Dow’s rise was even more impressive under Obama if you start measuring at the market’s low point, on March 9, 2009, during the depths of the Great Recession. That day, the Dow closed at 6,547. Between then and Jan. 5 — a 10-month period — the Dow rose by a stunning 61 percent. That’s more than three times faster than Trump’s rise over the same period in his term.

Also, any improvement in the market under rump or most of it is a result of him removing regulations that will HARM All of us and a tax bill that will DEVASTATE all of us.

But you can read the whole thing

Look, I can make the market soar also if I give all the governments money to the richest people AND remove regulations on the companies they invest in so that the richest make more money while the rest of us are poisoned.

He brags because he is an idiot. They put the country in the hands of a circus clown. What a comedy show!
