We are a country of consumers, so of course our trade deficits are huge. Putting tarifs on the things we want is simply stupid in my opinion and almost all former presidents would agree...
Problem with Trump is he continues to think he see simple answers for complex problems. For a guy that would tweet weekly about how great the stock market was doing his first 18 months in office, sure has went quiet on that now...took only his 2nd year to have the market lower then where it started at the beginning..

Of course he is, what has he done? Get rid of the Affordable Care Act(nope), built a wall(nope), higher stock market(nope). He got Paul Ryan's tax plan in and put in a few conservative judges, something any republican president would have done...
He talks a big game and the uneducated only care about tough talk.
You're such an ass. Predictably you blame Trump for leveling the playing field
on trade. If Trump walked on water you'd bitch that he can't swim.
The Market overreacts to the slightest occurrence. Sometimes it reacts over just
a possibility. One is those is that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest
rates faster than previously expected. That was triggered by U.S. jobs data on Friday
that showed wage growth is picking up which could mean faster inflation. Or not.
Unlike you I'm not an expert but my feeling is the Market is overpriced and has been
for a long time. It simply needs a correction.

I have personally never seen a man walk on water, though I believe if I did the last thing I would think is "can he swim"
Though if I saw a man drowning in a pool, I would probably assume he couldn't swim.
If Trump is going to take credit for when the market is up he should also take blame when its tanking. Very simple.
has always been "geo political problems now that we haven't had before" ... perhaps only difference now is that some of the largest, most influential companies in the world (nike, google, facebook, amazon, msft, GM, bayer) are now more intertwined with the us govt and more involved with social concerns than they ever have been. normally companies refrain from becoming involved in American tribalism but for some reason they are becoming as involved as the MSM
The markets are not really a reflection of economic growth. I once naively believed they were, but history has taught me they're not. Economic growth, jobs growth, wage growth are all significantly more important to society. Market growth is just some icing on the cake. Markets have surged and plummeted throughout their history, and will continue to do so. Analysts pretend they know why, they don't. The average man panics and sells low, really smart people that can take advantage of them do take advantage of them. No, I'm not saying I'm that guy in this arena. I just don't panic and ride out every storm.
If you're making some reference to Trump's policies, I'll just point out the markets are substantially higher since he won the presidency

The economy is anything but fundamentally sound . The economy is a basket case, and one large bubble bursting .
