Taking all of the credit and none of blame is par for the course, for the delusional Trump zealots.

Oh, how convenient of you to give Trump credit for the rise in the stock market, but not the fall.

How many more times do we have to say that?

I know what you're talking about re: Bill Maher and that's one of the worst things he's said. He takes a limo from his gated mansion in the Hollywood Hills down to his studio and is paid millions. But yes, please tell middle class Americans you want them to lose their savings, etc. so Trump won't be re-elected. Also, yeah please lecture us on who to vote for.

FWIW I don't think this will have any effect on Trump's re-election. A toddler could ascertain that this market drop isn't his fault.
Apparently toddlers believed the rise was all due to him, eh?

Snowflakes.

Well, you didn't really answer....and I would take some exception with #2.

When Americans see the real Trump and realize that he "doesn't have this" they tend to react more. It's not like he's FDR and people believe him when he says "we have nothing to fear but fear itself".

I will give you #1 for sure. He didn't create a virus. He may have, unknowingly, allowed it to spread here quicker but we don't know that...."may" is the key word. However, the one woman in Vacaville as well as other cases seems to point to that.

Is the poor GDP his fault? The bad PMI? The people thrown off the health care rolls? The fact that much of the world doesn't trust us anymore?

I'd say the answer is yes. A toddler would know this.

And once again, for those who think the crash this week is due to the coronavirus, you once again need to look at my link here:

NY Fed: The Yield Curve as a Leading Indicator

Drag your cursor over the line in the bottom chart. Notice it shows a high probability of a recession this coming August (or roughly in the summer) ... but that was determined last August!
The coronavirus is nothing more than a catalyst for a crash that was bound to happen soon. It is not the cause of the crash.

Market pulled back from -1000 to about -350. Looks to be stabilizing as long as no new coronavirus pockets pop up.

From Jan 6:

Was That The Blow-Off Top?

From Jan 17:

Stock Market Blowoff Top Here, Tough for Traders to Time

There have been a myriad of indicators telling all but the most blind that the recent stock market runup was an overly euphoric blow off top that was bound to burst sometime soon. All it needed was a catalyst, and it got one in the coronavirus.

That seems unlikely. Now that the CDC is finally getting test kits out to providers expect a surge in newly discovered cases.
