The president seems to think making the stock market drop more than 600 points is hilarious

signaled a “rebirth of capitalism”—had a full on authoritarian meltdown. He tweeted that “our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China,” despite having no power to do so; demanded that they manufacture their products in the United States; claimed that the US is “better off” without the second largest economy in the world; and threatened to respond to China’s aggression with more tariffs this afternoon.

“Am I right that Trump sparked a market tanking, and now is making a stupid joke about it? Why would he do that?”

MarkoKolanovic4 Like your cnbc interview, visionary

MarkoKolanovic4 I’m sure he told Vanity Fair this...right. Another “unnamed source” that liberals trash rags seem to have an unlimited supply of.

KilttripUSA Ain't he the world biggest joke what do you expect?

White folks put him there and they would vote for him again.

Cuz he had his people buy short right before tweeting...?

What is really funny is that you liberals think we should let China keep screwing us

Just. Vote. ☑

He knows all the babyboomers that voted him in and having their pensions evaporate before their eyes are senile like him, and are probably laughing it off too.

trix6 Any president who makes the stock market drop by 600 points for imposing 100% tariffs on French wine should be thrown in a barrel of rotten grapes and stomped on.

HankLewisLLC He's trying to create doubt in the market, so it crashes. It's intentional. He talked about this back in 2014. He thinks it's the only way for America to become great again, when a 'real leader' steps in to save the country. P.S. He also wants riots.

Next week he will try to rally it to keep the string of plus months going. He thinks this is just a game so his pals can make money.

He’s the biggest ignoramus on the planet

I’ve flatlined.

Americanist4u He's jacking the market intentionally. Like insider trading when you know what you do will move the market. I moved my 401k from stocks to bonds months ago when it was evident the market was fluctuating in a bad way.

He’s shorting the market.

navarrotells Pretty sure someone is profiting off his “leadership”. Probably him. Wish an independent body could investigate.

Putin's Boy...he does what he is told. (Straight Jacket and all)

TapestryofPeace timeforthe25th

Can you say stock manipulation...sure I knew that you can

Of course he is laughing. Don’t forget he is in it to benefit himself. His family and cronies are into options trading and they know very well they can make $$$ every time Trump “deftly” moves his mouth or tweets., while we worry about our 401K. Will the SEC look into this?

We lost 3% of our life savings today.

noybsk2017 Of course he does. He made money on it.

gtconway3d thatis because he is a sadist

We ”hereby demand” to know the list of stocks Trump and family shorted before he crashed the market.

Apple Stock Down 4% After Trump ‘Orders’ Companies to Leave ChinaApple’s share price was down around 4% Friday morning after President Trump took to Twitter to “order” U.S. companies to leave China. The slide came amid a market-wide sell-off, w… Trump lives in 1950. He doesn't get that even domestic manufacturers source parts globally, many from China.
