So you're claiming the market gains the past 12 months are evidence of Trump's fiscal sophistication even though they're about to crash.

Good one.

See here's the difference between you and me. I ask you a question, you evade (you still haven't answered). You ask me a question, I respond directly. I can respond directly, because unlike some people, my opinions are a result of critical thinking, as opposed to blind, fanatical acceptance of one party's doctrine.

Many people, regardless of party, think a correction/recession is due. That is not necessarily a rejection of Trump's policies (though people like you will obviously spin it that way when it happens). Whoever won in 2016, was going to inherit an economy that was ripe for some pain. The tax overhaul instantly made companies more profitable, thus more valuable, thus perhaps postponing the correction.

It didn't matter whether Bernie Sanders won, or Ted Cruz, or someone in between. We are ripe for a correction. I would say the same exact thing, regardless of the party of the winner of the election. Your spin, depends entirely on the party of the POTUS, that tells you whether you give the POTUS credit or blame.

It's a silly question. Unless I'm going to pull money out my 401k value is meaningless. Could be 1/2 what it is now when I retire.

It's not even close to meaningless. If your 401k is up since he's been in, an honest person would give him credit.

Likelihood of cashing out means nothing. Bush was crucified when the economy tanked at the end of hos term, and I'd bet my house that you were among those who criticized him. were you cashing out then?

I don't even know what you are saying...only those ready to cash out, are qualified to opine on the economic policies of the current POTUS? Absurd.
