Dow Futures Falling and Fast

The Dow Futures are continuing to drop and drop and drop. How bad will it be when the market opens on Tuesday? I guess that $200 billion trade tariff threat Trump made against China is having an impact.

Dow -429.00 / -1.71%
Level 24,587.00
Data as of 3:09am ET

Dow Futures are falling because the Democrats are spreading evil rumors and are sabotaging the Trump-administration. If only the evil Democrats would fall in line and treat President Donald J. Trump like the people of North-Korea treat their dictator Kim Jong Un, then everything would be fine.

the people of North Korea don't have enough money to buy food let alone invest.
But that would be a minor point to Trumpsky.

Trump has threatened to leave NAFTA. Which would be catastrophic for the US economy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement

What do you think does the catastrophic G7-summit mean for NAFTA?

Ever since Trump sabotaged the Iran-deal, gas-prices have gone up, sucking money out of the pockets of consumers.

Ever since Trump has started trade-wars with Europe, Canada and China, goods have become more expensive, sucking money out of the pockets of investors.

Ever since the Republicans passed their debt-exploding "tax-reform", financial experts have known that the US does not have enough monetary reserves to survive another recession similar to the one from 2008/2009. At the same time, the Trump-administration is working hard to undo all safety-measures that the Obama-administration implemented to prevent such a recession from happening again.



What do all these things tell you about the future of the US economy?

and they have pissed on America's friends, while falling to their knees to slobber over America's enemies. Voters must remember who pissed all over the place (R).

Trump is carrying out Putin's orders to isolate America on the world stage, make all countries hate us and destroy our economy.
