Donald trump gets slapped

1,175: The number of points the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday, February 5, its biggest one-day point drop ever. The previous record was a 777-point decline, set on September 29, 2008.

24,345.75 - 1,175.21 = 4.6% change. Correction requires at least 10% drop. Today it's already 1.55% back up. I agree it was the biggest one-day drop, but it was also a drop from record high DJIA in history. Larger the number, the more room you have for points to fall. It's the market doing what the market does. Up and down.

THAT'S the POINT. Good, you get it.

Now please explain th-th-the N-U-M-B-E-R-S to these tunnel visioned brown shirt drones.
They're all part of the SAME tabulation for the SAME market that the SAME guy is taking credit for thank him very much.

Trump is responsible for doing many things to bring businesses back to the US and cutting taxes to boost the economy. That's why he can take credit for it increasing. However, the Federal Reserve has just started jacking with the stock market. They're "oh so concerned about inflation" and raising their interest rates. What this means is that borrowing money and investing is much more costly. Honestly the Federal Reserve shouldn't be allowed to have any power over this. It's only a tool for the banksters to manipulate and sheer the economy.

Absolutely right. The key interest rate set by the Fed got it this high, and raising it will lower it. Another one that gets it. Trump does NOT get the blame nor credit whichever way.

Maybe the bedazzled throng can learn after all.

Not when he can still blame his "opponent"

I think most people on the left know he's not responsible for the "crash" but they also know he's not responsible for it going up either. His supporters (and Trump quite frankly) tend to think he's only responsible for the upward trend. Can't have it both ways folks. The left is just holding him accountable to his own standards. If he weren't an egomaniac, he'd have no blame from the left. The reality is any president has very little to do with the stock market, gas prices among other things.

Agreed. Political office holders have a lot less influence on the economy than they think they have. But their political egos drive them to claim credit for all positive news. Trump is an outlier in that he has tried to claim credit for a rising stock market; your average politician knows better than to do this. I’m more concerned for the people who believe his claims at 100 cents/dollar.

It’s called normal. Fluctuation is good. Even the drop years ago was good because people ended up making a lot more money.

So is this meme supposed to be Ironic? Yeah btw its the investors who are mostly responsible for the stock market going up and down, not really those in power.
