What a weird thing to say. I know he’s trying to keep the stock market from dropping when it opens here in a few minutes, but that’s the kind of statement that works on his base, and his base is not made up of traders on the floor of the NYSE.

Right now I can think of only two statements that will generally help the market.
“I resign”
“Ack. Urgh. My heart”

The Tokyo futures market tripped a circuit breaker early in their morning of trading. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NYSE hits a breaker. It’s already down almost 4.5%.

It’s rebounding a bit. We’ll see if that lasts.

People with a ton of cadh can be patient, regular people are panicking.
The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!
My wife did her routine grocery shopping yesterday, prices are not down, a lot of things have gone up since her last trip 3 weeks ago.
Also, where are those billions of dollars a week going?
Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Remember that the last administration had a person who’s entire responsibility was to give him a folder full of positive stories about him every day.
