I keep seeing posts and reading articles about

how this stock market's fluctuations compare to previous market crashes and don't get me wrong in comparison it's really bad.
But, this has NEVER happened in the history of our Country. The Felon is solely responsible for this crash. He alone can instantly reverse the trajectory of the market but he has chosen to cause a major market collapse. And, tells the American public we have to go through some pain. No, no we don't. This is self inflicted. He came into office with a healthy robust economy in spite of moderately increased interest rates.
How is it oil is approx. $10 less per barrel but I'm paying $1.00 more per gallon in the last two weeks. WTF.
Enemies of our country could only dream of the sabotage and destruction to our country that has been perpetrated by this Felon.
What shocks me the most is the 43% +- that still support him. WAKE THE F.CK UP!

It is not normal to have an all-fronts global trade war.

It is not normal to tariff Chinese products this much.

It is not normal to think that the Chinese, who have a history of withstanding pain and are the second largest economy, ... to think that they will blink simply because they import only about 20% of what US imports from China. China has $700 B of US Treasury notes/bonds they can sell. They can cheapen their currency. They have other levers too.

It is not normal to slash the Federal government spending and work force by 50%.

It is not normal to deport or scare away your entire lowest tier of workers on whom your food supply depends.

Yet the investor press is full of articles about which stocks to "buy in a dip", as if all is normal.
