Trump Worries Stock Market Slide Will Hurt Him In 2020

December 21, 2018 at 11:35 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Washington Post: “The president has complained to aides about how unfair it is that he is blamed for the market’s slide and for growing unease about an economic slowdown in the months to come.”

“And he has needled Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell about the pace at which the central bank has raised short-term interest rates. The lower the market drops, the more the president worries that he is losing his most potent argument for reelection.”

He took credit for the Obama Bull Market for well over a year of his presidency. Now it's the TrumpSlump and he owns it, just like he owns the shutdown over a wall he 100& guaranteed Mexico would pay for.

unfit and unqualified he is for the office? Or is it just about continued grifting and dodging indictments?

Never mind the people that will lose money or the effect on investors or the world economy, it's all about how it will affect HIM.

Maggot is insane and they have lost confidence in America. The G20 was the last straw for them. He’s so stupid he doesn’t realize they raised rates to attract investors that are not coming forward under this insane clown.

The day he leaves office involuntary or voluntary I predict a huge stock market rally.
