Gershon, great write, that brings up interesting questions, well perhaps it is all part of Trumps big plan to make the USA great, oh yeah it always was, well anyways he will blame something or someone else 'cause he is innocent of all failures or so he says, it seems more like he wants to bring down the USA but does he have to take Canada with him in that sinking ship ~

yes, if the man at the top gets the blame for the down I think it only fair he get the credit for the up

He doesn't make me nervous, I rather like a non-politician in the White House. And from what I have seen lately, if he doesn't take credit for it, Obama will. Nice one my friend.

Interesting comment... Maybe the USA should elect Trump and Obama co-Presidents in 2020. That would be an interesting marriage -- between the two ultimate narcissists... Imagine the carnage. It'd be great theater. Who do you think would pick up the pieces, Putin or Xi?

I'm glad to hear the market rebounded, Gershon. I'm sure he'll take credit for that when he returns from the Mideast. Getting government working again will be another thing. He won't give up on his wall and when the Democrat majority takes over in the House Jan. 3, they won't give in. Enjoyed your rhyme! Best wishes, Carolyn

Ha, Ha. Trump won't be able to take credit for anything: The market just gave back 50% of yesterday's gain today...C'est la vie.

Always the blame game! Americans need to work together I say!

You're right. It seems that Trump's spent two years blaming things on Obama. Obama spent eight years blaming things on Bush. Bush spent 8 years blaming things on Clinton...It's really become ingrained in us to blame others. After all, the President does it!...
