Brad Thomas is the author of The Trump Factor—whatever the hell that is—and an advisory member of Trump’s league-of-people-who-are-disappointing-their-families. He was on Velshi and Rhule’s MSNBC show trying to do some damage control for the Trump administration after a slew of CEOs decided being a part of the president of the United States’ council was bad for business.

Brad Thomas: Look, I'm not a market timer I'm a value investor and most people should be value investors. When I look at the long term, the number one catalyst—and nobody is going to talk about, especially your show and others like this—is the number one catalyst is the corporate tax. This is the market mover--
Ali Velshi: --Brad, hold on a second. Hold on. You're talking to two financial journalists. I didn't know you were going to bring this up so I don't have the chart ready. We always put it on. I can find it. This market started going up on March 9th 2009; and if you have a ruler it's a pretty much straight line from there to now. There is nothing Donald Trump has done to cause the market to be where it is right now.
Thomas, having been hit with that insane piece of reality, tried very hard to go back to his talking point which is everything is awesome. Velshi was not going to let this fairytale bullshit continue on.

Velshi: I want him to answer my question. You keep peddling the myth the Donald Trump is responsible for the market. You're a market guy. You have seen the sop 500 since March 2009, right?
Thomas: Absolutely.
Velshi: Do you give Barack Obama credit for all of the stuff that happened from March 9, 2009 to January 20th, 2017?
Thomas: The number one driver of the stock market --
Velshi: Answer the question, Brad.
Thomas: What is the question?
Velshi: Do you give Barack Obama the credit for all of the stuff that happened from March 9, 2009 to January 20th, 2017. If you do that, then you realize it's not Donald Trump.
Thomas: But right now the commander in chief is Donald J. Trump. And in terms of the market mover, what's going to actually move the market -- what we're seeing now is job creation. President trump has created over a million jobs.
Velshi: Brad, Brad stop it. For heaven's sake! You know in the last two months of 2016 there were more jobs created, and the last six months of 2015, first six months of 2015, last six months -- I can keep on going. Donald Trump is not even close to being the largest job creator in the first six months of his Presidency.
