Trump to take credit for the stock market?

1. I"m sure you mean well... but that's like debunking climate change by pointing at a cold day

We get a post like this almost every time there's a significant down day...

... but note that the Dow was at 18,333 on election day and the 500+ point drop just dipped it below 24,000. We would need another ten straight days of 500 point drops to get back to where it was.

Democrats can run against Trump on scores of issues... but "he tanked the stock market" or "he crashed the economy" is not currently one of them.

2. How often does a 'significant down day' 500 points down?

Your point is generally good, but we must not ignore the damage this fool ACTUALLY CAUSES.

'Trump threatens Iran deal and threatens trade war with Europe, DOW down 500+ pts'

3. I think this is the fifth or sixth this year

Including two that were twice that size.

There have also been four or five up days of roughly that size.

Of course... 500 points isn't as exciting as it used to be.

Still making the same silly point. I suspect most trump voters are willing to continue supporting him in the face of all his nonsense because their 401(k) plans are much larger.

4. I don't think 'most trump voters' have any idea what's happening to their 401(k)s,

IF they have them.

5. It was your link. :)

"Trump voters: How are your retirement accounts doing today"

If you're saying that Trump voters aren't invested... then why would a thread on a one-day decline on the markets be relevant?

6. he's always quiet on the dow down days....he's quite the coward

7. Well this time he is directly responsible

since it happens whenever he announces disastrous trade policies or pulling out of treaties.
