Well, I guess we could ask Lois Lerner and John Koskinen?
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

So the DJIA is at 2,600 + and has had more gains than under any other POTUS and the Left is pushing for impeachment?
At this point he is racking up major MAGA points and the people really want to pull the rug out from under that?
The Donald needs a well written script to read from and he needs to stay on script. Give
Bi-weekly pep talks to the American People telling them of every point we are scoring for them.
This is partisan, political assassination, people need to hear that. Put a face and name to it.
"Fireside Chats" kept on point would fix this.

You would have better luck herding cats than you would keeping Trump on script

This is not a comment on President Trump, it is a comment on the market.
High prices are great for folks already in the market. What about our kids, how much can they buy at record high prices? Do you celebrate when gas prices increase?
Here are some interesting facts:
1) The richest 1 million or so families own 50% of all market equity;
2) The rest of the folks in the top ten own about 41% of all market equity;
3) The remaining 90% of Americans own only 9% of the market;
4) Only 48.8% of Americans own any stock. This includes personal brokerage accounts or retirement funds.
5) The 'typical' middle class family that owns shares has less than $10,000.00 worth.

Stocks were first used to capitalize businesses. Today stocks are primarily used to extract money from corporations and pass it along to the shareholders making the rich richer and, well, you know...
As I've said before, it is a system that has benefited me and continues to benefit me. But it can not sustain. Which is why I resisted my financial adviser's suggestion that I roll my income guaranteed holdings into my IRA.

If it isn't because Trump didn't help pave the way for market gains, then why did it happen?

That would be 26,000.

The only thing I learned from this election is that Democrats, FBI, DOJ and the media are corrupt.

Do you also attribute the massive gain the Dow saw during Obama’s presidency to Obama?

Did not say it was not President Trump, but I'll say it now, it is not President Trump. It is the continuation of a recovering market. Sure, President Trump's love the wealthiest American's policies may have smoothed things a little, but the market was trending up well before he took office.
The DJIA passed the previous high in 2013. It had pretty much steadily risen from the deep trough of late 2008 until that point, and with minor ups and downs has continued to rise since that time. So was that on President Obama? Nope, it was recovery, that would have occurred had anyone followed the advice that Obama followed.

But, hey, your narrative is yours.
