Friday politics/Trump

[mbcdefg]

Soooo, apparently Trump’s tweets are tanking the stock market?

Stocks and finances really go over my head ... but apparently Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made his annual Jackson Hole remarks, then Trump tweeted a bunch of crap about Powell being an “enemy” along with China, and “hereby ordered” companies to look for alternatives to China ... and now the stock market is way down?

Stocks were doing okay until Trump started tweeting.  Our country is being run by a crazy person.

Can he even do that? (I know we ask ourselves that every day and the answer doesn't matter.)

Of course not, but he is divorced from reality and thinks he can do whatever he wants.

Because he can. The only people who can stop him, won't.

He “got in trouble “. Basic slap on the wrist. Rich white guy. He paid some fine, agreed to have his tweets monitored/approved before tweeting but he’s still going strong and the sec isn’t enforcing because, well, rich white guy.
