Since you've probably been way too busy totally fucking up this coronavirus thingy you ignored for so long you've likely not had much time to follow the stock market lately. So I thought I'd give you a real quick update just to let you know where you stand so you can see what an awesome job you're doing for everybody's 401Ks, since you used to remind everybody every day ad nauseam not very long ago before this Democratic hoax showed up at our doorstep.
When Obama illegally entered the White House (him not even being an American, after all) on Jan 20, 2009 the DJIA closed at 7949 that afternoon. The day you mercifully took the reins from the Worst President Ever the DJIA opened up at 19795. Let's do some real quick math, okay bud?
Jan 20, 2009 - 7949
Jan 20, 2017 - 19795
A 149% increase in 8 years, or an average of 18.6% return per year. Not too shabby, especially considering ol' Barack took over when Dubya's economy was in a total freefall and we were hemorrhaging about 700,000 jobs each and every month. Dubya says he got an MBA from Yale but he sure didn't know too much about economics. Anyway, I digress.
Today the DJIA just closed at 19174, so let's get the calculator out again.
Jan 20, 2017 - 19795

Oops, that's a 3% drop from when you took over. Hooboy, I'll bet Obama beating you at the stock market and beating you BADLY really sticks in yer craw, don't it Donnie? You being a very stable genius and all, financial and otherwise.
But cheer up, Mr President. This 3% loss will probably look real good compared to where it's gonna be by the time that senile Sleepy Joe Biden boots you outta the Oval Office. Maybe you should tell all your wonderful charming kids to buy a lot of put options, huh? Or have they already? Wouldn't put it past 'em...they say the rotten apples don't fall too far from the tree. Good luck, Mr President...and God help the rest of us. Because you sure as hell won't.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
