(31,112 posts)He really doesnt
and the only reason for the UP is his MASSIVE tax cut for the rich, MASSIVE tax increase on everyone else (will take a while but it is an increase) and his all out ASSAULT on the regs that keep us safe
NOTHING he does EVER helps ANYONE but himself and other rich people and NOT because he knows what he is doing

(6,931 posts)Your talking about a daily gain--oh and then it tanks nearly 350 points today. This market is so fucking volatile it could shed 1000-1500 points in one day with this shit head at the helm. That POS has to round up $300 BILLION this week to start paying the tab on his tax SHAM that he foisted on the idiots. I don't think one or two day gains or losses mean much either,but this em...."correction" started on Jan 26th.
This is going to get bad and I wish it wouldn't seeing how I have a IRA to live on but I KNEW this would happen if any Republican took over as Pres again.

CNBC reported that it will take years for Facebook to actually completely correct their data mining disaster and other tech companies will be seeing the same happen but probably to a lesser degree. The stocks will be on a roller coaster but now 41% of the population isn't feeling very safe and secure about a continuing rise as it has been for years.
