So, fans of Donald, who is going to take the credit for this one (Dow Jones, 02/05)

[sarahtasher]

I mean, Breitbart and co. kept droning about how the markets rising was a sign of Donald Duck doing fine. So...

"Obama left the economy in a terrible place and today we'll just seeing the echo of his activities."

[Low Hanging Fruit]

Let's get into the mind of a Trumpkin.

Good for Trump then Trump get credit and true.

Bad for Trump than others to blame and lie.

I always said I didn't care when it was raising and I can't say I care now that it crashed until it results in something meaningful either way.

Those who praise him for stock books are mislead as much as those who blame him for current dips. POTUS can have an effect, but is only one of the many factors that dictate investor confidence.

[Felya]

Can we not? You know it will bounce back... and if it doesn’t, no reason to celebrate.

Saying this.... yah, I was tempted to start a similar thread while watching the last hour of Dow today.

[Dome Fossil]

It's too late for this, Fox News has already put out their excuse for the drop. "Not the biggest percentage drop, nothing to see here." The Deplorables already know what to say to handwave this away.

Tomorrow when the Dow drops... I'm going to guess another 800 points, be on the ball and ask them then what it means post-haste. See if they go with the percent excuse again, that'll be fun!

But at the end of the day, the market has been super over-inflated for awhile now, so this could easily be a hiccup that's indicative of nothing special at all.

A better question I have is "why is the Dow dropping"? I mean, didn't Dumpy McFuckwit give them (stock traders) what they wanted?

I'm genuinely curious as to why this bubble is seemingly bursting so early! Is it early anticipation of Orange Fuckface McLump being prosecuted? It almost seems as if it's a reaction to the magnificent dud of a "memo" that Fatfuck McRump farted out and his even more recent unhinged toilet twit accusations.

From what I've heard/read it's in response to the Federal Reserve possibly starting to bring interest rates back up again.

Because inserting money into a booming economy with 4.1% unemployment, causes inflation. What Trump did, is react to a booming economy, like it’s a recession.

Gotchas - thx @Edge and @Felya ^_^

I got curious about this and quit as of 2016. Every Monday for the last 3 years the Dow has dropped.

Then I guess you think that last Thursday and Friday were anomalies.

Hannity blames Obama

You can make it universally applicable just by shortening it to "Hannity what a fucking tool".

Sorry, I meant the Monday after the Superbowl.

Once again, the President has very little sway over the stock market. He doesn't get to take credit, and he doesn't get the blame.

Most people understand thats, its more of a "what about now" to the Trumpians praising Donny for the market increase over the last 7 years.

Granted, and if I might say, no duh. But this is Cheeto - what if he thinks he should get credit for the upticks? Then shouldn't we blame him, even if it's wrong, for the down trends? Or is that treason?

I know how you feel about Drumpf, I'm not suggesting you feel otherwise, in case this seems like I am.
