Market question.

[Skidmore]

Did Trump intentionally tip us over into a bear market or is he just stupid? Or, was a bear market inevitable at some time and was that time now without Trump mucking around? Sick of this chaos now. Tired of being gamed all around.

1. Given his bragging about the market gains during his presidency

why, exactly, would he "intentionally" tip the market into negative territory?

[Skidmore]

2. I don't know.

He does crazy crap for personal gain. Perhaps he thinks he can benefit somehow.

[Squinch]

3. He's stupid.

Bear markets are inevitable but the republicans inherited an exceptionally strong economy. They pillaged it in every way possible which probably hastened and definitely deepened the bear market.

They've set us up for financial priblems for years to come.

4. Markets ebb and flow all the time. Patterns emerge

He just greatly accelerated the “Dow”nfall

[Wounded Bear]

5. This probably would have happened last year...

if not for the Repub tax cuts, which basically turned into a series of buybacks by the CEO class that propped the market up for that period. They won't get another one in the near future, not with Nancy running the House.
