The performance of the stock market has been a bragging point for President Donald Trump from the moment he took office in January 2017.

And in a presidency plagued by problems, it remained a bright spot.

However one conservative commentator is determined to rain on Trump's parade. Author and writer for The Atlantic and a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, Frum is no fan of President Trump.

After the President tweeted a headline from CNBC...

"'Trump Stock Market rally is far outpacing past U.S. presidents' ~ CNBC"
"With new trade deals, and more, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"

...Frum provided a little fact check.

First directly on Trump's tweet:


Frum provided figures as of November 29, 2019.

Then Frum provided additional information on his own thread.

Others backed Frum's numbers.

Joe Hynes provided figures for the DOW and S&P as of December 26, 2019.

Trump was still running behind President Barack Obama.

Others also corrected Trump's false claim.


But some felt people were focusing on the wrong things.










And while people try to claim Trump's popularity is based on the economy, others point to another reason.


People predicted a fall coming soon.



As of Friday, December 27, 2019, the 2020 election is 311 days away. Are you registered to vote?

Kyle Rittenhouse Dragged After Making Outrageous Claim About Fluoride In Water

In another bid to get back into the good graces of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's fans, gun rights poster boy Kyle Rittenhouse claimed fluoride in drinking water is "making people gay."

Rittenhouse fell out of favor with the MAGAsphere in 2024 for criticizing their Dear Leader on his 2nd Amendment stance. After deleting the critical X post which spawned rumors among Trump's MAGA minions that he was secretly transgender, Rittenhouse stayed off social media until December 2025 when he announced he was married.

Trump Blasted After Declaring Himself ‘Acting President Of Venezuela’ In Mock Wikipedia Entry

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he shared a mock Wikipedia entry that features a picture of himself with the new title of "Acting President of Venezuela." This comes little more than a week after his administration invaded the South American country and ousted its dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Trump previously claimed the U.S. will take a day-to-day role governing Venezuela after removing Maduro, an act of regime change widely viewed as an act of war that came without congressional approval and violated international law.
