Seriously, given Trump’s many bankruptcies and business failures, what was their first clue?

across the globe carefully at the moment.

Major scrotal shrinkage going on.

The markets will either decide to ignore Trump's bad behaviour, again, or decide the whole show is a lost cause and shrivel up further.

Holding my breath at the moment.

Because it snowed outside.

Like climate where you look at overall trends you do likewise with the stock market.

Why don't you provide some figures for these trends? Partisan people love to tie politics to the market. It never works. Before the 2016 election Warren Buffett, a Clinton supporter, said it didn't matter who won the election. The U.S. economy would do just fine. I believe him over anonymous internet posters.
