The fucked yo thing is that traders, who do this on the daily would literally ignore this and rally whenever a Republican does something that is passable. Or at least not a disaster. You see it time and time again with Trump in recent years. The market loves to rally when he doesn't puke himself wet on live tv.
I'm kind of disappointed that people feel like this is the time to be doing victory laps about trump and the stock market. This is unprecedented and no policy decisions could have prevented this.
yep, this "China Virus" bullshit is them going to their safespace

The market is going to take a hit no matter what, but I assume we would be in a much better place with a competent administration. The lack of global leadership in this crisis is obvious, even now there isn't any substantial cooperation between the US and EU concerning covid-19 for example.real talk though: as nice as it is to be able to pin this on trump, would america having a competent administration really have done anything to prevent this? it's not just america, global markets are melting down. i doubt that if americans had not elected a clown things would be much better. the drop might be slightly less steep, i guess?
he could have reacted sooner.While Trump is shit, the stock market crash is not really on him.

At least now there's no edgy debate around the reasons people voted for him. Nope. Just boiled down to racism. He's destroyed everything else. Still has a good approval rating. So it was none of the maga promises. Truthfact.yep, this "China Virus" bullshit is them going to their safespace

Also the low-key celebration in this thread that the stock market crashed is kinda gross. Millions of people are about to suffer in a big way.
The drop is in part becsuse no one believed trump will handle this wellreal talk though: as nice as it is to be able to pin this on trump, would america having a competent administration really have done anything to prevent this? it's not just america, global markets are melting down. i doubt that if americans had not elected a clown things would be much better. the drop might be slightly less steep, i guess?
It could have been marginally better, yes, but the stock market was tanking regardless of who was PresidentIf he had done literally anything instead of calling it a Democrat Hoax, we'd be in a WAY better situation.
It's helpful to have it for people who don't know this though. I mean, it'll be useful outside of this thread for me, at least.
Thanks Slayven!The one I saw was a nice peaks and valley, but this is close enough
This is also good, thanks!
Yes, back to pre Trump era.
This was the orange sack of shit just two months ago.
This was the orange sack of shit four days ago.

The guy dismantled government offices left and right, lost credibility by constantly lying, cut funds to goverment programs that would help during this crisis and ignored warnings from medical professions for weeks. It's not entirely his fault, but he made it much much worse!

Most of the uncertainty and panic is because of the lack of testing IMO.I feel like if Obama was President we wouldn't be shutting down as a country. People would have test readily available and the amount of initial infections would have been lower.
Bush2 is a war criminal. Trump hasn't crossed that line quite yetDammit I might have to admit that this son of a bitch was a worst President than Bush 2

Well, his refusal to take it seriously has completely worsened the spread. he canned the pandemic response team. Even though he would never do it, he's had neary four years to put up social safety nets instead of tearing them.While Trump is shit, the stock market crash is not really on him.

Let's see what my broker says.
Oh no, let me introduce you to my money guy.
Racism is a luxury.I one time saw chart listing the boom and busts times of america, it was pretty much GOP shits the bed Dems cleans it up and GOP get relected. Literal back and forth, the definition of Insanity
Fuck no i just think cheering a stock market crash because it hurts Trumps is sad because this situation is unprecedented and its going to negatively effect everyone far more than it effects Trump and had very little to do with any policy decisions he made (all though his decision to not take this seriously from the get go should be rightfully scrutinized).
Like fuck Im going to lose my job and I have old people in my life that could potentially die but LOL Trumps stock market is broken.
ignoring politics for a moment- a smart responsible president would have created an environment where the US was a leader on this and one of the first to emerge and recover.It could have been marginally better, yes, but the stock market was tanking regardless of who was President
