Today, Trump and Fox are highlighting the longest bull market in history.

It began on March 9, 2009.

I know that this is all a ruse to distract from the story about Trump's legal issues, but this isn't even get an "E" for effort!!

(On edit, even though it's stating the obvious: Thanks Obama!!)

when Obama was President? Oh, they seem to forget to mention that when it's referred to as tRump's bull market. Problem is, we the public can do better math than they can, and 8/10s is greater than 2/10s Thank you, President Obama, for a great run and laying the groundwork for years after your administration.

Trumpsters try to brag about how well the economy is supposedly doing.

For the average American…

Cost of living rises at fastest rate in decade

For the biggest group of American workers, wages aren’t just flat. They’re falling.
