Fine, just like they'd been doing for the past 8 years.

Here is Bigcharts (all data) for the SPX:

The stock market isn't a reflection of the President. Obama had the pure luck to come into office near the bottom of a severe bear market. Obama supporters gave him credit for the recovery in stock prices for most of his time in office. Now Trump supporters are giving their man credit for the same bull market.

Unfortunately, bull markets don't last forever and there will likely be a bear market while this President is in office ... if he lasts long enough that is.

See, if you want to give your guy credit, then you should give credit to Obama for the previous 7-8 year bull market. I don't give credit to either of them.

I think Trump's and Obama's best qualities are their laziness and ineptness. I was glad to see Obama golfing and going on vacations and I like Trump doing that too. Though I wish he's spend a lot less money. He's gonna blow through nearly a billion dollars flying to his clubs on weekends ... again if he lasts long enough. I want to see Trump fail .... to get a wasteful trillion dollar crony rewarding giveaway infrastructure bill ..... and I want to see him fail to start the trade wars he wants.

Trump said he was going to put America first so he should hire some Americans for his clubs. We're spending big bucks to fly him to them every weekend. If Mar-a-Lago is the Southern White House, why employ foreigners there?

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/business/employers-use-more-foreign-workers-trump-wins-visas-for-mar-lago/XG0GxJIyqb4Z4WxRjwT45J/

........... CareerSource Palm Beach County, a nonprofit job placement agency, says it knows plenty of American citizens willing to work at Mar-a-Lago.

"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra said Friday.

...........

If he hired low income Americans, they'd be blacks, rednecks, and hispanics .... Trump's rich friends don't want to be surrounded by low class Americans like that. They'd rather have waiters, waitresses, and maids from Romania and other East European countries. That's where Trump gets his low wage staff. They're young, white, and though they may be poor they have European accents which sound classier to American ears than hillbilly, black, and Spanish accents.

Plus foreign workers are compliant ... if they want to work them 70 hours and pay them for 40, they have to go along with it or get sent back. Ditto if some of the foreign female workers are nice looking, they can't do anything but go along when their pussy gets grabbed.
