If Trump got Covid-19, would the market rally or tank?

[intrepidity]

I have no idea. Do you?

1. Rally... on the potential that Pence would be in charge.

[intrepidity]

2. And if both Trump and Pence get it? nt

7. Well that I am not sure.

Trump and Pence could both sign a document giving temporary Presidency to Pelosi under the 25th amendment.

But I think they would actually rather die than both do that.

8. You know, it's just cruel

It's just cruel to tease us with that prospect.

[BusyBeingBest]

16. I tend to agree.

[Ilsa]

3. I'd throw a party. Market might rally. nt

[Rorey]

4. I don't think he matters all that much

He just blows hot germy air, so it'll keep doing what it's doing until somebody sane is in charge. IOW, January 2021.

5. I'm pretty sure you could buy booze stock if that happened. Champagne sales would go

through the roof!

6. Tank. Market hates uncertainty.

You can't get much more uncertainty than the leader being sick, especially a disease that's affecting globally.

[Rorey]

11. Yeah, well if he was actually a leader, I could agree

He's a divider and a disruptor. I just don't see the downfall of him getting sick, or more.

[Awsi Dooger]

15. Exactly what I was going to post

Uncertainty like that would trigger an accelerated free fall. It would be more ugly than anything we've seen in recent weeks.

9. The market will go up

Due to have he’s big mouth quarantined

10. Confetti stocks would rise

[delisen]

12. Rally.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Probably have to shut down.......

too many people dancing in the streets - wouldn't be able to get there!

[doc03]

14. Ralley

[Vogon_Glory]

17. That depends on whether he recovers or not

Of course I don’t have much confidence in Father Pence’s leadership skills either.
