did you even read my post before quoting it? I basically created the same situation ... or did Trump actually admit he was trolling?


You think I am holding my breathe waiting for Trump to admit he was trolling? He took credit for something that was not due to him, and trolled, at least those foolish enough to believe him, people. That is a logical fallacy to what you are saying, because the whole thing was already a troll in the first place by troll ahem, I mean trump.

LOL!. You knew this was coming:

Trump now claims the stock market is rigged against him

#AlternativeFacts
Except he didn't say that at all.

His quote - from your link...
In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!

Also from your link...
The historic Dow Jones drop that occurred on Monday was in part a reaction to Friday’s jobs report, which showed stronger wage growth than at any point since 2009. As companies sink more money into wages, there’s less left for shareholders.

If you follow the market, it does weird things. I've had stocks get clobbered after good news. And I've had stocks get horrible news but the price goes up. It makes no sense and it is maddening.

He's saying the economy is doing good but the market was tanking. The article you linked explains some of it. I'm sure you would agree that wage growth is a good thing right?

At no point did he say the market was rigged against him. He was saying the market was going down and he didn't understand why. He's probably thinking the same thing today.

People have been calling for a pull back for quite a bit. I'm not alarmed. A couple more days like today is when smart, rational people are able to make a lot of money.

That's mostly true, and I do follow the market, and of course wage growth is a good thing. Market correction is going to happen regardless.

What I'm pointing out (which the writer is also pointing out with the headline), is Trump is making the issue all about him.
He's basically saying/implying: "Before me, when the jobs market was good, the market went up .... but now with "me" as President, the jobs market improves and instead of improving, somehow the market crashes...WTF???"

Which is not a far extrapolation from the headline.
(You can even see his "me, me, me" syndrome in his tweet in the article - "Somebody likes me (my policies)" - Really?)

I guess you see what you want to see.

I see this:
In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!

"Good ol' days" translates as "Before Trump".

I saw this a few weeks ago, since then I've noticed this a lot. Why Can't People Hear What Jordan Peterson Is Actually Saying?

no matter what a person not of the left says, a person of the left will then leap to a new conclusion about what the non-left person really meant

I watched that interview while ago. That lady was an idiot and she was actually pissing me off.
I was saying to myself "He didn't fucking say that you bitch!"
That was one of the worst interviews I've ever seen, the media is full of English majors trying to make sense of the world & that idiot is one of the worst examples of that
