Here you go senpai. That s&p chart is retarded as shit. Its not indicative of wages, prices, unemployment, economic policy shifts inside parties, etc. Anons just like to save little charts that supposedely support their politics.

I mean that's pretty much how it goes. Democrats had total control (legislative/executive) under Clinton, then Republicans took total control under Bush, then the Democrats took total control under Obama, now the Republicans have control under Trump etc. Outside of the Supreme Court, the pendulum is always swinging.

>No, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
>Mexico (which is basically 2nd world)
It's painfully apparent that you don't know jack-shit either, since you're calling Mexico "basically a member of the Communist bloc". The three worlds model is a political division, not based on wealth or whatever you think it is. Learn some goddamn history, kiddo.

>republicans usually have an advantage in these elections
Where are you getting this from? Picture related. If anything, there might be an advantage for the oppositon party, if the president is a fuck-up. Clinton faced a very low turn-out and still won the popular vote. I wouldn't write off the Dems on mid-term election, especially if they can keep the outrage train up for another two years (which in turn might be the ticket for another Trump term, since being a lame duck he'd have an excuse).

>No. China has much more to lose in a trade war
I don't know. They're an authoritarian regime. Either they lose jobs, but can put up a strong man appearance against an external foe. Or they keep the money flowing but seem emasculated. I think they'll take the former. External enemies have been historically brilliant tools to distract from internal problems and so far Chinese state media has been ragging on Trump pretty hard, setting up the stage. If they call him "inexperienced" on national TV, they can hardly cave to him only weeks later.
Besides, they've been investing pretty hard in strenghening domestic demand in the last few years. They want off of the export train anyway.
