I don't want the markets or the economy to tank and people to get hurt, but the markets and the economy aren't contingent on what I want any way.


I will settle for a flat economy which puts a lie to Trump's claim he can create prosperity.

I think the markets will end up being dissatisfied with Trump, but I don't think they've given up entirely on the dream he represents to them yet.

If they struggle with their tax reform bill the markers will react in a "bigly" negative way.

Li'l Donnie, Hope and Change. I hope things turn out before I get change back on the tens of thousands I invested.
