First of all, a lot of people of the left have money in the stock market. A lot of people on the left talk about the stock market. You live in Seattle so you must know quite a few people on the left who have a lot of stock options.

Anyway, Trump promised a lot of things. He promised to use his business acumen to help the country, but now the stock market is tanking. It's weird because he's been bankrupt six or seven times by now, but he still says he is going to lead America into a golden age of prosperity.

The tariffs don't seem to be helping either. The ways things are right now, it seems likely that Trump is the epitome of Dunning-Kruger, or a criminal, or a demagogue.

Has he even done anything about prices at all? It would legit seriously help a lot of Americans if he would. I don't know. He talked about it a lot, but maybe it's not going to happen.

The stock market (and housing market) is the sock puppet of both the left and the right.

Whenever a democratic policy or action affects the stock market, then “it’s a pain we should, nay must, endure for the betterment of our society and country. The stock market will correct itself. There are billions of poor gay immigrant trans Americans families with student loans that are struggling. Once a new generation grows up under this policy, the stock market will rebound. You should be DCA`ing and only investing what you can lose anyway and THE STOCK MARKET ISNT THE ECONOMY”

When a republican policy or action affects the stock market it’s “wHaT aBoUt the sToCk mArRkaT. It dIppeD lAsT wEek. THE STOCK MARKET IS THE ECONOMY”

I don't know, but I don't think I agree with you. In fact, I've never heard either party ever say that the stock market going down is a good thing.

Besides all that, Trump is president right now and the Republicans control the government. While being in control right now, Republicans are presiding over the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth, despite claiming the be the party of fiscal responsibility. I think that's turned out to be something of a lie. Trump says he is a financial wizard, and that doesn't seem to help. Trump says he will build America into a golden age and lower prices on day 1.

Nothing like this is happening. It just doesn't add up.
