AerynSun2 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Will Donald Trump be the Herbert Hoover of the 21st Century? That is the question. I think most here like DT, so this isn't trolling. But if we have a significant stock market decline plus a economic slowdown, it could lead to a Democrat (socialist) as the next president with a Democrat congress. Also, it doesn't have to be a full blown depression. The news media and entertainment industry will make anything bad feel like a depression. My fear is that he will be painted as Herbert Hoover.

I question whether we are having an economic slowdown since the recent slowdown was preceded by a period of economic growth and unemployment went from 5.6 in 2014 to 4% in July of this year, The stock market has had a couple of recent drops but has rebounded. And the S&P 500 which measures stock market performance, is up overall by 32% since Trump was elected, Don't believe the Hype.

Citra47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 So far, Trump did more in his first year as President, (while half of the Republican's and all of the CommieDemDuh's desperately attempted to take him down) than Herbert Hoover did in all the time he was in office. I don't believe he will ever be compared with Hoover. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 what BORG WARNER said. talking heads are trying to base things on a Dow correcting itself and not on the economy as a whole and employment numbers across the board. i think if President Trump cured the Common cold he`d be accused of not curing blindness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at PB-HO, who made no attempt to keep those promises on the platform he ran on. Instead, he did his best to tear apart the United States and create racial hatred and division in his time in office. So, yes, I guess he did something but it was all negative. If we look at those presidents that attempted to keep all of their campaign promises after being elected, we have a VERY short list. The American populace does not elect a president to do nothing or to turn to a political agenda after being elected that is closer to Communism than anything else - right down to Christmas tree ornaments glorifying Communist leaders. Why do I think Presidents need to "do things"? Quite simply because they just became the most powerful person in the world and they OWE the American people who elected them to do the job they were elected to do.

johnbt Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Trump will be remembered for coming out of nowhere and beating Clinton, just like Truman beat Dewey. Clinton had it all going for her; all except the headline in the Chicago paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His denial that the Depression was getting worse, his insistence that it was getting better as more and more people were losing their jobs and homes. His claim that people were quitting jobs to sell apples on the street, and that one mythical hobo who was eating at a dozen soup kitchens a day and was putting on weight rang hollow to just about everyone but Henry Ford and JP Morgan. Granted, Hoover was instrumental in saving Europe from starvation post WW1, and no doubt his finest hour, but his efforts as President to help people who were hardest hit during the Depression was his worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out he was right, too. Soon as the Dims let things alone and we got the war up and running things turned right around. And of course FDR was there to take the credit. Also, don't forget Hoover saved New Orleans from the 1927 flood with no public funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
