Tweet from Peter Alexander @NBC news on Air Force 1




Trump, on AF1: “The reason our stock market is so successful is because of me. I’ve always been great with money...”




This guy is drunk on himself as he doesn't mention his bankruptcies

Not unlike some of the vulture capitalists like Mitt Romeny -- bury a company in debt and then bail via bankruptcy leaving others holding the (empty) bag, after having taken out huge amounts of money yourself.

Trump does it all for the Russian mob..
lends his name, which had more cachet a few years ago, gets kickbacks, in the form of Licensing fees, his name sells it, the mob gets what it needs at the time, then walk away.

Bear in mind, tho...Trump's Atlantic city casino got busted for money laundering.

For some reason, I can't think of any major legislation that has been passed since he has been in office.

12. Janet Yellen and the Fed are the reasons for the stock market records

Keeping rates at 0, or near 0, with very slow increases is the reason why the markets are setting records and that unemployment is low. Has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump or the Republicans who have not passed any significant legislation.
