Does anyone think Trump will crash the market before he leaves? [View all]

The fed has been dumping billions of dollars a week into the markets and the banks. Do you think Trump will order that stopped about a week before he leaves? He did say back in June of last year that if he was not reelected, you will see the biggest market crash ever. Just wondering if any stock market people out there had an opinion on this. I pulled my market funds off to the side thinking he might do this.
