But what about the 50,000 stock market ! [View all]

That is a response that is common with Republicans when asked about Trump's racist comments.

Look how great our economy is doing, they say.

The media wastes our time on trivial matters because they don't like Donald Trump.

We can only assume that money is more important than racism to a lot of Americans.

But what about that stock market?

When the wealthiest people in the world are given trillions of dollars in taxcuts, they have to do something with it. I don't doubt that much of it will go into the stock market. It is not indicative of the economy as a whole. Because if it did, we would not have lost over 100K jobs in January?
