To try and prop it back up for him, but like W Bush did, it will fail badly. We're headed for a trump recession no matter how much bs and propaganda he puts out, and it's all from his doing.

With interest on feds near nothing, and a low inflation economy, investors will see flat as bad after the hits over the past week.
Better than more tanking, but only a pinch.
