That would be a second or two of trading tomorrow to wipe out his "achievements". There is no point in speculating on how much more he can drive the economy down til Jan 20, 2021. Far be it from me to support the orange Cheeto-head, but I wouldn’t put the current drop all down to Trump. His cavalier attitude early didn’t help, and he’s not helping things now either, but it’s not all on him. Only part of jt Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The remainder was due to a combination of confusion (caused partly by Trump) panic over the Coronavirus and actual slowdowns in tourism, trade and production.

However he and his supporters have certainly claimed all the increases for him. Only logical to then tie the decreases to him as well.

Wendy is right, but the President gets the credit and suffers the criticisms from the markets. The $1.5 trillion of tax cuts and QE of the first three years has been pissed away to be paid by the children of todays America. IMO the market decline is being driven in part by the lack of leadership from the top. It seemed as if today the message is finally getting through. But I'm sure tweets and foolishness will walk that back by tomorrow. The public emergency declaration gives the president unlimited powers. Yet the talking points of active suppression of the virus comes from governors. What the markets and the public need is leadership. How about leadership like: We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the factories, we shall fight in the clinics and hospitals, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the schools, we shall defend our people, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the laboratories, we shall fight in the pharmacies, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, trump should be signing executive orders as if the virus was little brown illegal immigrants invading from overseas. Ordering 24 hour a day production of what hospitals need with contract pricing to be determined by a independent arbitrator. Masks, ventilators, cleaning solutions,test kits, mobile clinics in every city and on and on. Oh well wishful thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
