2. This is true but deceptive.

Percentage drop is what matters, not pointage. By percentage, today's drop was minor compared to Black Monday in the 80's.

4. That said, today's tumble is all on Trump.

5. Right. Point drops mean nothing. It shouldn't be brought up.

6. Correct. Doesn't even make the top 20 in percentage drops

And percentage drops are what matter.

For example, todays drop of 800 points, or 3.10 percent is bad.

The October 15 2008 drop of 733 points, or 7.84 percent, was more than twice as bad despite being smaller in absolute terms.

7. I agree. As much as I despise trump, don't think we should use deception like GOPers.

It's too easy to see through, and does not differentiate us from white wingers.

3. He's a winner

8. I'm tired of all this winning

so very tired
