In one way I know this sounds bad but it is time that the economy takes a proper hit based on Trumps leadership. Idiots will still vote for Trump 2020 if they think they are OK. If they start hurting economically his one current 'advantage' will be gone.

4. He HAD to create a distraction!

Otherwise people might talk about Mueller for a few days! He doesn't care about your money; he needed a distraction and this was a good one. Remember he's just a day trader, not a long term investor.

6. Possibly not only a distraction.

Someone at Daily Kos brought up the possibility that this is a short sell opportunity for Trump and his billionaire buddies to make a lot of money, after which Trump declares that Mexico is working with him on the problem and the tariffs will not take effect. Those secretly alerted ahead of time make money. The news is off Mueller for a bit so Trump is happy.

16. I've said that every time

he says or does something that tanks the market. It's a great short sale opportunity for the whole trump family.

13. Sadly!

17. You got me! I just had to scroll back

to verify it wasn't the Onion. Is GM going to jack the price of chevies that they make in Mexico? Are they coming back to Detroit or moving on to Indonesia? Are the Harley-Davidsons they make in Europe a better value? Are these real questions, or am I just trying to be funny? Inquiring minds want to know.

18. the bully doing the only thing he knows how to do.

Issue demands and threats.

Perhaps he'd like to steal Mexico's lunch money while he's at it.

Dirty Don won't be done until he's squandered the whole booming Obama economy he inherited (and boasts about) and brought it all to ashes. Unless they can stop him by throwing him out.

20. Red Don has all his money in indeed shorting stocks right now

21. Just a blip. when it hits -500 the

Plunge Protection Team (PPT) will step in and buy a bunch of shit to stop or slow the fall for the day.
