Could it be? Has the collective spine of Dems finally grown in?

He’s only losing if you consider him to be playing for Team America.

OK if you say so. How would one ascertain whether these comments had an effect?

As far as I know, when state of affairs becomes uncertain, stocks go down. That’s the extent of my knowledge as pertaining to stocks. I figure that announcements of tariffs bring uncertainty in the long-term.

I never said I was. Trump promised tariffs on EU countries and stocks went down. I’ll grant you they didn’t go down by a lot, but I don’t think the article was being disingenuous.

Right, absolutely. I’m not saying that Herr Drumpf just kickstarted a recession and neither do I think that’s the claim that the article is trying to make. The market, however, had a very clear reaction to just the MENTION of tariffs. What happens when the details to these tariffs are released? What happens when they are actually implemented?

OK but they did fall rapidly, and one can only surmise it’s because of the announcement of more tariffs.

What do you mean? It did fall and the article links to each respective stock. As of writing this comment, DJI fell 337 points, NASDAQ fell 54, S&P 500 fell 30 points.

They are being truthful.
