Trump's Ego Sure To Take A Brutal Blow After Forbes Reports Biden's Economy

Last edited Sun Nov 21, 2021, 02:56 AM - Edit history (1)

Is Blowing The Ex-President’s Out Of The Water.

Former President Donald Trump likes to tout the economy as a measure of success for his time in office, but it didn’t fare well when the Covid pandemic hit. The twice-impeached one-term president failed to take the spreading disease seriously, which led to the economy shutting down while he held super-spreader events. Trump left office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover. Trump isn’t going to like an analysis by Forbes magazine that shows President Joe Biden flouncing his predecessor with the stock market. And Trump touted stock market gains repeatedly.

“The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Thursday at 4,704.54 (its third close above 4,700) and fell just short of another record on Friday when it dropped 6.58 points or 0.14% to 4,697.96,” Chuck Jones at Forbes reports. “The Nasdaq closed at a record high of 16,057, its first close above 16,000 while the Dow Industrials is the laggard at 35,601, almost 1,000 points below its record.”

Trump isn’t going to like this part, either.

“By President Trump’s favorite measure of success, President Biden’s post-election gains in the S&P 500 Index have soundly beaten Trump’s equivalent at just over their one-year election anniversary,” the report continues. “While the Dow Industrials captures the most attention, the S&P 500 Index covers a wider range of the economy and is the most used Index for passive index investing.”

((Good news for me too, as I'm now invested in the S&P Index!!! NOW it's time to inform the otherwise uninformed 'public.'))
