In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!

1. Words fail.

This is one of the most irrational ideas ever.

2. So, .... he's blaming the stock market for its reaction to the Tax Scam?

It's not a coincidence that the crash happened the day people got their first paychecks with that big fat $1.50 loan from the IRS.

3. He really doesn't know how the stock market works??

Well, perhaps the market will provide a live demonstration

4. Is he really blaming the stock market for making a mistake?

I wonder if he thinks there are actual bulls and bears kept in a room somewhere.

In case there was ever any doubt about how he managed to run a casino into bankruptcy....

10. Apparently the Stock Market didn't clap for Mr. Tiny Hands

11. This brilliant comment from the "Stable Genius" who has the bestest brain?

I used to get frustrated because I couldn't figure out the winning strategy for the Stock Market, but in comparison to Trump, I don't feel so bad now.

12. Thus spoke a "business man" with no minimal understanding on how the

market reacts to news.

Or, at least, with him viewing TV all day, cannot even watch CNBC or Bloomberg to understand that the good news mean inflation and increase interest rate. Also, that, at least the global market is leery about the political uncertainly in this country.
