Trump gave the market a boost when it seemed like 'everything is falling apart and the stock market's about to roll over,' Jim Cramer says.

Donald J Trump is a very very very small man. The more you advertise how markets react to his, mouth flatulence, the more inclined he is to fart.

Can't believe our economy has been taken over by tweets!

Being unpredictable is how you win!

Ha! Hope Soros was part of that squeeze. 🤗👍

Is he manipulating the stock market ?

jimcramer lost it! He became Mr. Captain Obvious and a Trump pleaser!

We are witnessing a failed presidency in real time. He is not well. As long as he’s at the helm, U.S. will not be well. It will take a decade to recover because of his economic antics.
