30. Perhaps hold such comments for a day when the market isn't hitting a new record?

There have been plenty of presidents who make terrible decisions… but that isn’t the same thing as knowing what the impact will be on the markets.

Just a few days ago a significant proportion of DU was certain that war with Iran was going to send oil to $150 and crash the us markets. Instead oil fell dramatically and the market is hitting new highs. April was going to be the worst month for the market since the depression… until it came right back and ended about where it started.

Does any of this mean that Trump’s actions were correct? No… it means that timing the markets is a fool’s game regardless of who the president is.

If he decides to gut financial regulations tomorrow - it will likely be a huge mistake in the long run- but the markets will probably skyrocket.
