Interesting tit-bit. Is Trump about to break the mold?

Trump's turn? Republican presidents rule recessions

History could portend a bad omen for President-elect Donald Trump: recessions are more common under Republican presidents.

Every Republican president since Teddy Roosevelt in the early 1900's endured a recession in their first term, according to an analysis from Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at stock research firm CFRA. Four Republican presidents suffered through two recessions while in office and Republican President Dwight Eisenhower presided over three. Meanwhile, Democrats have largely skated past the recession quicksand. Four in five Democratic presidents saw no recessions during their terms since 1945, Stovall says.

While history isn't gospel, the track record makes the odds that a recession might appear during President Trump's term all the more likely, Stovall says. "From a probability perspective, a recession is very likely in President Trump’s first term in office," he says.

That is what I am saying. Read about how the great depression started Herbert Hoover. Then you realize this is a repeat of George W.Bush only more racially and hate charged.

The Democrats are setting up themselves to be disappointed if they are going to sit back and wait on a recession to stop Trump instead of finding ways to reframe their message. What many continue to miss is that the recession never ended for the Rust Belt people who voted for Trump. Their economic standard of living has deteriorated under Obama just as it has for inner city black and Latinos.

How many people know for example that life expectancy for poor whites has been dropping, and they are having a major drug abuse problem in those communities? Mainstream news doesn't show that, they only show inner city dysfunction but it bad out in the boonies, I can tell unoo that from first hand experience.

I guess that's why they didn't take Sanders appeal seriously and shut him down,
Well reality has not hit them head on, let's see what it will take for them to see it

Them get vex when mi tell them months ago the man smart. All mainstream news was showing was Trump talking about is the wall to keep immigrants out. They never showed when he kept saying that it will "keep the drugs out that is destroying your communities." Well the tens of thousands in each state who attended the rally and the other tens of thousands who saw his live stream heard it. and whether or not him serious, it resonate.....

In the mean time, Robby Mook and the algorithm built by the academic/tech/media elite was busy telling Hillary she never need to go to Wisconsin and that old predator husband Bill didn't know what him was talking about when him asking him wife to go to the rural towns. These brainiacs were about as right as X and Wang.

[Islandman]

He is still playing the media for suckers. The man send out some tweet bout Hamilton is overrated and them spend the whole weekend a talk bout it instead of serious issues with his transition and Trump University fraud settlement. A president-elect paying big money to settle a fraud case and it's like no big deal, that's Donald Trump.

I am curious about those who supported trump but kept it under wraps or declared that they were undecided.

There is a certain insidiousness there that is concerning

[Islandman]

I agree but it's difficult to say how many of those there really were. There is an argument that many of these people were unaccounted for not because they were lying to the pollsters but because they were not considered likely voters.

Some if it could also have been just embarrassment to be a Trump supporter but hating the Clintons more. It is hard to defend what Trump says and not sound like an ignoramus.

[Gamma]

Not unaccounted for ...

I have a sistren in ALA she is from Jamaica ... On her FB page post election she expressed concern about the rhetoric etc .... Several of her friends intervened in a most smarmy way to ask her what her concern was and to say that they didn't see it that way but we're concerned that she was concerned, so they tried to allay her fears ....

My guess is they voted trump, she is surprised that they did and that she had no idea they would have done so. That is the demographic.


Educated white women who were not inclined to publicly support of him because of how it would look because of his rhetoric but were resolved to vote for him because he wants to make America great again.

Gamma - I will go to my fall back and first premise on all of this in this case as well. The media giants that control what most of us receive as news are biased. They created a lot of fears about Chump (and he is a Chump, but a clever Chump) that were intended to create divisiveness. The media doesn't profit from business as usual, they profit from upheaval, disunity, controversy, noise, etc. It is not in their best interest to have peace, quiet, or unity. So they saw in Chump an easy target, giving the man what I hear is estimated as much as $2B in free "advertising" during the primaries to get him nominated and perpetuate the divisiveness to their own profit. We see this in football too - alarmist and misleading "journalism". They can't help themselves and create certain "fears" in the public perception that are often not real, but only good for them. Those fears are what may drive one not admitting to supporting one candidate over another. So while much of what they say about Chump may be well-founded, I suspect a great deal of it is also unfounded just the same, and possibly, underhanded. We saw the same thing happen with Fox News when Obama was elected.

The sad thing is after the election so many of them trying to make excuse for the racist things he said. "It is not as bad" "he mean't" or "the media".

Look at his first 3 choice for his cabinet, tells a lot.

[Gamma]

EXACTLY 'Sass! That is how they outed themselves. That is the demographic that won him the election

[Gamma]

Hmmmmm cannot all blame this on the media pablum.

He said what he said ... They sensationalized it no doubt but that **** was newsworthy.

He has made an about face and that too is newsworthy ......
