OR financially.

Haven't we heard the whining of Wall Street about the "uncertainty!!!" "Oh, the uncertainty!" Hey, we LIVE with uncertainty.

But you CAN contain it. Shape it. Prepare for it. Try to anticipate manage variables that come up, and as with a chess game, try always to think three steps ahead.

But For Pete's Sake, you don't see a fire burning and throw fucking GASOLINE on it!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the "worst trading day of the new year" just a few days ago is because of him. He did say he wanted to be unpredictable. But we can't afford to play so close to the edge like you can when you play hardball negotiator in a business deal. This is governing. This is not just politics, it's GEOpolitics. The world is watching and reacts and THAT makes a BIG difference. We don't operate in a vacuum.

I don't think trump understands this. He's operating in his own little world.
