Some reasons:

* market over-valued after long bull run since 2009. A small reason can trigger crash.
* inflation and interest rate will be higher in 2018
* domestic economic outlook worsen under Trump administration

but the media was having too much fun with the 'Grab them by the...' tape
That tape came out 1 month before the election. Trump flip flopped a lot on the campaign trail and no one knew exactly what he'd do if he got elected. Plus, it was assumed (wrongly apparently) that the 2 other branches of the government, plus his handlers, would help control the cray-cray.

I'm glad we are working now on fair trade rather than free trade, even if it hammers stocks. It may help bring some industries back here or prevent other ones from moving. I'm hedged, I'll be ok if the market tanks.
This sounds like kool-aid drinking to me.. how can you confidently say this is "fair" and not just the continued off-the-handle bars, trigger-happy, reactivity of a mostly incompetent and mostly reckless strongman?

I've been against NAFTA and "free trade" since Ross Perot in 1992 --- so this has nothing to do with drinking The Donald's kook aid

You can’t say it’s not something to be worried about as you can’t guarantee what happened with Boeing will happen with amazon. It’s also doesn’t take away from the irresponsible nature of the tweeting

His tweeting will be a concern for at least the next 2 yrs, 7 months, the remaining length of this term. Unfortunately, people don't ignore what he says, and he happens to enjoy chaos and flip flopping. You may think that's a fine way to govern a country, but simply put, it's not.

But whatever you think have been the negative impacts of those two factors over decades can you at least concede that a wholesale attack on them wo considering short and long term impacts on US companies and consumers is really stupid, emotional vs rational thinking, and will bring about negative reactions???

It just seems like Trump realized Congress was on vacation and decided to become Kevin from "Home Alone"
Look at all the chaos he churned up
Syria withdrawal and confusion over ground actions w Murds
Border/military controversy
THe Easter speech debacle
Not to mention the announced visit from Putin and other foreign policy "missteps"

The guy is an entire car of clowns...
