After the latest colossal belly-flop from the Nunes/White House Obstruction Team, Trump is looking gravely endangered.

The markets have been in a bubble for some time now. They were due for a correction. I wish everyone saw the Nunes memo for the "colossal belly-flop" that it was, but that does not seem to be the case.

not be looking at their Moron in Chief with such undying love. The shine isn't as bright. As Ali Velshi said just now, "Live by the sword, die by the sword". He can't blame this on Obama.

..... that should have been on Hillary Clinton's watch and attributed exclusively to her... but in no way was Donnie Tr-dump to blame.

Besides Shawn Hannity was the real presi-dunce and Nunes was the VP.

Markets are usually based upon future expectations of earnings, environments, etc. Obviously there a lot of folks out there that don't have much confidence in tRUMP...

His fault, solely.

I predict Mr Trump will fly into a tantrum when he watches Fox later and it isn't all about him.

Who once bragged about his triumphant effect on the Dow, now will be tweeting to ignore it, that it is treasonous, and it's all fake news.
