Dude, modern economies are compared by PURCHASING POWER, not the currency (which isn't a very good metric to compare overall economic power of a nation).
Let me explain...MOST of economic transactions, production, movement, and consumption happens in LOCAL markets of a nation and NOT in International markets.
As countries get industrialized, local purchasing power becomes increasingly important. Since even critical products start being produced locally and not bought from International markets.
Now, go back and see Turkey's Purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) vs Spain's, and you'll understand
Guess what? With increasing indigenousnization of Turkish military and its equipment--GDP PPP is becoming even more important because Turkey doesn't have to rely on international markets anymore to fulfill majority of its defence needs.
In terms of PPP, Turkey most likely has already surpassed slow, old, dead-fish Spain..by 2020, Turkey will most definitely surpass Spain in terms of GDP based on local purchasing power.

There is no "this one matters" thing here. It all depends on country's situation.
As I said, as country get industrialized and starts to rely less on international markets---purchasing power becomes increasingly important measure. Its common sense, isn't it?
Anyways.

Yeah, I'm sure you know better.Trump has thousands of lawsuits, once he picks a favorable Supreme court justice, the court may change its decision.

@Nilgiri @T-72 @C130 @flamer84 @Vergennes Already Trump's victory is stimulating the economy.
![trump-lols[1].png](https://defence.pk./attachments/trump-lols-1-png.351022/ "trump-lols[1].png")
U.S. stocks moved higher Thursday as investors enjoyed a second day rally on the heels of Donald Trump's presidential election. Shares of European Banks including Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse rose on hopes of less burdensome regulations under a Trump administration.
The Dow surged 218 points and blasted to a new closing high, marking Day 2 of the "Trump Bounce" as Wall Street fears related to Donald Trump’s stunning election win gave way to hopes that the president-elect's policies could boost the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 1.2% to its new all-time closing high of 18,807.88, setting a new intraday high of 18,873.66 in the process. Its previous record close was 18,636.05, notched in mid-August. The Dow jumped 256.95 points Wednesday to 18,589.69.
The broad Standard & Poor's 500 stock index inched up 0.2% as it moved closer to its record close of 2190.15. But tech stocks tumbled as the Nasdaq composite slid 0.8%.
The post-election rally has been driven by investors reassessing their views on a Trump presidency and beginning to focus on the growth-friendly positives for the economy, such as fiscal spending, lower taxes and less regulation of businesses under Trump.
In general, Wall Street is shifting its focus from Trump, the man and presidential campaigner, to Trump's policies.
Wall Street also is betting that Trump's growth-friendly policies have a better chance of getting enacted with Republicans controlling Congress, adds David Rosenberg, chief strategist at Gluskin Sheff.
"The rally could represent investors taking a breath and looking at these potential positives in terms of seeing government actually move economic policy forward," Rosenberg told clients in a report.
The sell-off in bonds continued Thursday, sending bond prices lower and kicking up the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to 2.10% from 2.06% late Wednesday.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index surged 6.7% to finish at 17,344.42, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose 1.9%. The Shanghai composite index added 1.4% to close at 3,171.28.
Major European stock markets gave up early gains and were lower as Germany's DAX index was down 0.2% and France's CAC 40 dropped 0.3%.
Stocks jumped on Wall Street on Wednesday as the major indexes pared steep losses after volatile trading overnight ahead of Trump’s victory. Trump’s pledge to unify a deeply divided nation in his victory speech early Wednesday helped calm jitters in global financial markets.

Wow, I'm sure Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would be proud of this kind of behavior (He wouldn't). This Muslim girl just discredited any real victims of hate crimes. You can thank her for further tarnishing the image of Muslims as being liars and scoundrels.

A student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette fabricated a story that she was attacked and had her hijab ripped off, police said Thursday.
The attack was one of several reported in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory.
In a press release Thursday afternoon, the Lafayette Police Department said that during the course of their investigation into the woman’s complaint, she “admitted that she fabricated the story about her physical attack as well as the removal of her hijab and wallet by two white males.
“This incident is no longer under investigation” by the department, the statement said.
The original version of this story below has been updated to reflect the latest police statement.
In a incident Wednesday, a female student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette claimed to have been beaten, robbed and had her hijab ripped off by two men, one of them wearing a white “Trump” hat, police and university officials said.
But on Thursday, Lafayette police said that during their investigation, the woman admitted fabricating that story.
The SDSU student was walking to her car about 2:30 p.m. when two men accosted her in the stairwell of a campus parking building and “made comments about President-elect Donald Trump and the Muslim community,” campus police said in a statement. The men grabbed the woman’s purse and backpack, and removed her car keys before fleeing, police said.
The woman, who was not injured, left the area to report the attack, police said. When authorities arrived on the scene, they said, her car was missing.
Police described the suspects as a white male between 20 and 25 years old and a Hispanic male about the same age. Investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime, robbery and vehicle theft.
The SDSU Muslim Student Association said the victim was a Muslim student wearing a hijab and “full Islamic garb.” The group is planning a demonstration next week to protest Trump’s victory, saying his campaign has encouraged discrimination against blacks and Muslims.
“We are calling on all students, faculty, staff, and community members to come and show solidarity with our sister that was attacked and also stand against anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, and all other forms of discrimination that have become increasingly normalized during the campaign and now election of Donald Trump,” the group said on Facebook. “It is time we make it clear that the hate and racism of Donald Trump will not find a home in San Diego.”
University President Elliot Hirshman said in a statement that the victim appeared to have been targeted because of her Muslim faith.
“We condemn this hateful act and urge all members of our community to join us in condemning such hateful acts,” Hirshman said. “Hate crimes are destructive to the spirit of our campus and we urge all members of our community to stand together in rejecting hate.”
Hours earlier, Hirshman sent out a statement calling on members of the university to “ensure fair and equitable treatment of all members of our community” in the wake of the election, the independent student newspaper reported.
Trump’s vows over the past year to ban, deport or use “extreme vetting” against Muslims entering the country has struck fear in many U.S. Muslims, who have faced a surge in hate crimes since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Those proposals, along with the president-elect’s repeated condemnations of Muslims on the campaign trail, have led some critics to accuse him of bringing anti-Islamic sentiment into the mainstream.
The incident in San Diego came less than two weeks after a Saudi Arabian student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout was assaulted and killed near campus. Allegations spread online that the attack on 24-year-old Hussain Saeed Alnahdi may have been a hate crime, but police have yet to identify a motive or name a suspect in the case.

WTF is this suppose to even mean?
Seriously some people here make me laugh.
Obviously, your image shows why western democratic countries are stable, since there is constant change of power through ballot boxes as the people get to freely decide who they want as leader. Not some tyrannical dynasty dictatorship who thinks they are born to rule a country. Lol For your infos our P.M David Cameron resigned without any pressure or call for him to do, this will never happen in your region ruled by despots. Lol
Anyway you people can remain with your corrupt dictators for life. Who cares? Since you people are ok with them Lol
Well, people often do that for some reasons, she's not the only one.
She probably wanted to gain more sympathy for their cause
