Suggestion for a new meme: Trump Broke Obama's Bull Market

While the stock market and the economy are not directly related, "The Market" is reported as often and as feverishly as sports scores.

Eight years of a bull market GONE with President Stormy's monumentally stupid tax cuts for gazillionaires.

I'm sure there are many other one liners that can support this meme.

This week, millions of Americans are discovering that huge $1.50 a week loan in their paychecks, which they will have to pay back with interest in April 2019. It isn't going over well, and the market knows it.

The headlines as read by TrumpHumpers is Stock Market Must Be Good For Me Because Trump.

That's the audience. No need to talk about facts. They have no money in the market anyhow. The point is slap Trump in his face with the "collapse" of the market.
