Dow implied open -364 points. Over trump China tarrif..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

On CNBC, they said his advisors tried to talk him out of it...even Mulvaney and Bolton. Trump overruled them all.

Why is trump going down this road, against the advise of others? Is it just his single minded view...he always thought China screwed us, and he is always the smarter right one?

It demonstrates to me that he has zero regard for other analysis, for other angles and consequences in a decision that has global implications. He's not brow beating someone on building a tower somewhere.

1. Every time he does this

I think he's selling all his stocks, then rebuying them a week later. Maybe he needs some cash.

4. Reminds me of Carl Icahn..selling stock after likely

Being tipped off by President Felon. Been wondering about that. Evidently he's gotten two subpoenas for info from SDNY, which trump owns now right?
