trade futures started dropping in the middle of trump's oval office babbling.

The markets are punishing his chaotic mismanagement.

My question is an oblique tangent to the story: Who is the fellow with the grey hair and glasses in the middle of the picture? Whenever there's a top-of-the-fold picture of the trading floor, he is in it!

And the Trump meltdown in 1....2.... 3....who am I kidding it started two weeks ago

Seems like ... the bear market woke Sleepy Joe up.

It's down but its creating buying opportunities for smart long term investors

I mean you all know what the Corona virus is, its gonna either affect everyone or a cure found tomorrow, so why the panic?

We are in some deep shit for the next few years.

Stop spreading fear! We all need to work together! It’s the f’ckn MSM and dnc causing it! CNN msnbc washingtonpost StopSpreadingFear. worktogether

I'm thinking Donald Trump did not allay the fears of the market

It’s like trying to defend a 4 year old driving the family car. “Sure he wrecked it but he didn’t shht his pants this time!” When are these Republicans going to wake TF up!

Barack Obama, we need you right now.

Stocks entered bear market and will stay there for some time...!

realDonaldTrump really helped last night.
