Journal Calls Trump out on Markets

Trump takes credit for Obama's economy until things head south; then suddenly Trump shifts the "credit" elsewhere.



"It is well known that President Trump invests fervent belief in the stock market as a performance measure. When it's rising, as it often has during his Presidency, he says that his policies are responsible. But what about a week like this with markets in decline, including a steep two-day drop in the Dow Jones average? No logic exists that will allow Mr. Trump to take responsibility only for sunny days."  - WSJ - December 20, 2018
