The Democrats got absolutely demolished in both of Obama's midterms. People like Obama personally (for reasons that escape me), but they don't like his policies.

Trump is helping the economy in broader ways. The stock market is up (which Obama also deserves credit for), but he didn't cut taxes. 80% of us might see a net pay increase thanks to Trump, and every single democrat in DC voted against it. They are, and should be, scared of that fact.

Did you say that when it went up under Obama? Would you have said that if Hilary had won? I don't know a single financial advisor telling clients to short the market, or to cash out and put money in cash. The consensus is that the market will increase again in 2018. But no on knows for sure...

your confusing a slow and steady under Obama ,,,with guns a blazing under Trump.... you think its sustainable ? I dont

Financial advisors get paid up or down they are not required to look out for the interest of their clients (some may) but its easy money now

Also when Obama was in office most conservatives said the stock market didn't count... now its all Trump has

The rising stock market during Obama was fueled by government stimulus fiat money, not by growth in the economy. The QE stimulus money went into stocks rather than actual market growth because the market was so sluggish that there was more to gain from an inflated stock market than from an anemic business market.

Stock growth under Trump may actually be fueled by economic growth combined with an already bloated stock value.

I didn't care for the artificial growth of stock value under Obama, nor am I comfortable with its continuing and meteoric growth now even though some (maybe most) is due to an actual expanding economy. I suspect too much "value" is in inflated worth. We'll see how it eventually shakes out.
