Thanks don, the Dow is now -553 and falling

[spanone]

all because you are such a tough ignorant asshole

[dalton99a]

1. Kudlow sure sounds like a pathetic lapdog

yapping helplessly

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. Listen to the yapping, if you can.

Then compare what he says to what actually happens. He is almost always wrong.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. My SO doesnt pay close attention to the market or politics but asked me

if he knows it will harm us why does he do it?

I dont have an answer for her, other than he is an idiot and he simply knows nothing, at all, nothing, about business.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Your answer was correct.

He is stupid and delusional. He is absolutely clueless and he will completely destroy the economy if he is not checked. And not just our economy, but the global economy. He is a very dangerous man.

[Yavin4]

26. He simply does not care if it harms us.

He only cares about himself.

[disndat]

39. Trump needs to create

big headlines everyday to distract the people and media from his disastrous presidency.

[jpak]

3. Double Down Donnie!

[spanone]

5. bet trump has no skin in the stock market...but many folks do...IRA's, Pensions etc

[rufus dog]

23. You are assuming that Dipshit Donnie isn't trying to manipulate the market

1. Is it easier to drive improvements in the Economy and market or to drive prices down?

2. You know the answer to 1, so then you have to ask, would dipshit Donnie do something that personally harms many as long as he can gain?

You know the answer to that question too. He is downright stupid, but he is also greedy, and there are people around him that aren't stupid, but are equally as greedy.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Remember, they wanted.........

a "business man" running the country. I'm not sure they meant "into the ground!"

IQ45 is SUCH an ASS!

[Iliyah]

6. Well reading some responses from posters on different sites

and listening to some news who are saying that this is NORMAL, just like our shithole in the WH.

[spanone]

7. -590 now....this is nowhere near normal

[Grammy23]

12. Some of us little people have money tied up in 401 Ks or company stock ....

And aside from our Social Security and modest pension, are looking at those things to help sustain us into our twilight years. After the roller coaster ride out of the Bush years and through Obama’s help, we saw an upward swing in both 401k and our company stock. We actually, felt hopeful that, while not rich, we’d have something to make sure we are not in poverty. With tRump’s interference in things we are watching the gains slip away. It hurts and infuriates because we are planning on waiting until 70 1/2 to start withdrawing (according to the rules) a monthly stipend. Maybe a roll over. Not sure at this point. But who knows what will be left?? Gee, thanks, you Asshat.

I hope the know nothings who voted for this fool are happy with what they got.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. Even the FReaks have some who don't like trade wars, despite most of them being blinded by tRump/Fox

"I'm stunned. OMG, TRUMP HAS BALLS."

It's called escalation. I'm surprised the Chinese were even willing to get into a pissing contest with Trump. They should have enough intelligence to know Trump is not going to blink and the deal will not get better.

Thanks, Donald. We had a nice run up in the markets the past few days, but the Dow futures are now down 450+ points.

I love this guy (and voted for him), but could someone PLEASE start getting a filter on him? He’s costing millions of people real money.

BTW and FWIW - I’m as much “America First” as anyone, but there are dynamics here that are FAR beyond the Donald’s ability to manage.

Great Depression 2.0, anyone? Tariffs started the first one in the 20s. Let’s not forget history.

Market has topped for the next 5 years.

If Trump wasnt big enough to build the wall, he lost, how is he big enough to take on world trade. Nothing more than Trump bluster. Something to rile up the troops while potentionaly hurting the economy. Why?

"We could easily be self sufficient in manufacturing too."

Good idea.

8. It doesn't help

When trump hacks say "we're negotiating right now!" and the Chinese say there are no negotiations going on.

[spanone]

10. even kudlow admitted this morning there are no negotiations

Kudlow: No tariff talks yet with China, but 'this is not a trade war'

[duforsure]

9. His policies and screwups

Could cause a depression, not recession. Everything they've done is damaging our economy, and when it all becomes effective, then we'll be looking at a much worse situation from what trump's done, and is doing, then ad another war he's going to cause, it'll be worse. He'll have excuses , then blame others for what he's done, again, if he's still in office. Excuse, excuse, excuse. He's really good at excuses from years of doing that in business conning others. The real question is, is he doing this on purpose to hurt our economy?

[Iliyah]

14. Unfortunately and I think GOPers have full acknowledge that this is

an intended effort to put the USA in total chaos both economically (emotionally) and stressfully (hatred) in order to take complete control of the country through their sugar daddies and mommies and with the help of the Russians who along with GOPers stole the election for t-rump because he is the "total" idiot.

But, now I see that the sugar daddies and mommies may get extremely hurt by this power grab (think 1929). Ya think they would have learned.

[Demovictory9]

11. .

[Ilsa]

13. It's about 2.5%. It's not a huge drop, but it hurts people

who have saved and invested. I would hate to have to go buy up toilet paper and Skittles candy to keep value for my retirement.

And yes, it could get much worse if China says, "Fug it, we aren't in the market for your treasuries any more."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. Well, every time the market tries to get off the floor, Trump kicks it again.

Pretty soon it will claw through the floor boards to escape and fall to the basement. It won't be pretty.

[mahina]

15. Ive always thought he was planning to make The Big Short look like a prequel.

[spanone]

16. -611

[peggysue2]

17. As our retirement fund dribbles away so . . .

does our ability to sell our house and move back north. It was always going to be a hit to our funds, but a loss of fund value right now is more than a little troubling with expenses piling up just to prepare our house for resale, figuring out how much the physical move of goods will cost and finding a house in Pa we can actually afford.

So much winning!!!

[spanone]

19. -645

[Corgigal]

20. Having a stupid President

Is like having a stupid surgeon. You may not survive.

[poboy2]

21. I don't think we have until Nov., actually. It may be too late by then for western civilization. -nt

[oberliner]

22. -641 now

Good lord.

[magicarpet]

24. presi-Dunce Mango Mussolini is just flexing his...

.... muscles to show the world how tough he is. He has been invested with so much power he can make the stock markets gyrate, wobble, crash and fall down.

[spanone]

25. -710

[malaise]

27. Could be much worse by closing time

Just imagine if Obama had done this

[spanone]

28. an hour to go....and it's completely unnecessary

the art of the deal fucker can't deal his way out of a game of hearts

[maxrandb]

34. My dad used to say

That guys so dumb he couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the bottom

[Iliyah]

29. GOPers would want him tarred and feathered.

[spanone]

31. they would be holding congressional hearings on this tariff bs

[malaise]

32. The Chamber of Commerce and every RW institution

would be screaming on cable.

[louis-t]

30. Now -758.

[onenote]

35. finished at approx -574

Recovered around 190 points from its low for the day before closing. It will be interesting to see which direction the market goes on Monday. The recent pattern has been for triple digit gains to follow triple digit losses (albeit with the gains being smaller than the losses).

[spanone]

37. monday may depend on trump opening his mouth and what he says

[ooky]

44. It's flat lined for two months now.

That's the trend we've settled in, with high volatility. I expect it to be up ~500 points on Monday regardless of the news.

[malaise]

45. Pretty much

but it's the worst April start since the Great Depression

[phylny]

33. We actually need to sell some stock, and now

Dotaré Spanky Two Scoops has made our timing more challenging.

[Auntie Bush]

40. Its down to 666 now.

That ought to give it some downward motion.

[sandensea]

43. How appropriate. The GOP were always said to be Devil worshippers.

But like God, the Devil has quite a sense of humor.

[sandensea]

42. Yup. Unlike the Trump Tower, he OWNS this one

[eleny]

46. He likes to buy low and sell high

Remember when he said that about real estate crashes? How he loved them because that's when he can buy low? This feels the same to me.
