President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that he was concerned that Democrats could take control of Congress and "totally kill" the "great wealth" that his administration has taken credit for creating during its first year.
In a series of tweets, the president seemed to be responding to reports that Democrats have a decent chance to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
If the Dems (Crooked Hillary) got elected, your stocks would be down 50% from values on Election Day. Now they have a great future - and just beginning! https://t.co/9TzSC8F8vY

Why would smart voters want to put Democrats in Congress in 2018 Election when their policies will totally kill the great wealth created during the months since the Election. People are much better off now not to mention ISIS, VA, Judges, Strong Border, 2nd A, Tax Cuts & more?

As The Washington Post recently noted, "the Dow actually did better" during President Barack Obama's first year in office than it has done under Trump.
