  1. Nah, it's already too far into Trump's presidency and he's basically dug his own grave for the last 2 years now constantly CONSTANTLY gloating about the stock market. His grave is about 100 feet deep and the dirt is about to collapse on him.

  2.  logic rules  No it wasn't good before the midterms. The Stock Market has been super volatile this ENTIRE year starting with the gigantic plunge in February where it was a literal world record for the largest drop ever in one day in human history. Go look at the market charts numbnuts, this isn't even the first time "all the gains this year have been lost". The markets have just been going up and down this entire year and it was bound to eventually keep falling one of these times. Ever since those Trump tax cuts, the stock market has been inflated and entirely propped up by stock buybacks (but even before then as well, just not as critical). This does not even take into consideration ALL the other factors of the economy, which have NEVER been good even under Obama (Trump just made it far far worse) such as worker wages, the growing debt of the population, student loan debt, the affordable housing crisis, 93,000 jobs outsourced just last year, and countless more parts of our economy that are fucked. The Stock Market is not even a good indicator, but now even that is failing and you and Trump have no one to blame but yourself. This is what happens when you allow the rich to just buyback their own stocks and allow Banks to gamble with people's money just as they did before the 2008 crash.

  3.  logic rules  It's not ONLY Trump's fault, but no, Trump had more control over those things than anyone. He could've vetoed the bill to remove Dodd Frank regulations on Banks if he wanted to (the few regulations we had left on the Banking industry) and could've done more to stop 93,000 jobs from being outsourced in his first year, but instead just renegotiated NAFTA and slipped the worst provisions of TPP back into it with one little benefit for dairy farmers thrown in there to distract everyone from how it was pure shit. His senseless tariffs have only further thrown the stock market into slight chaos this year and the Trump tax cuts worst of all because they allowed the market to get over-inflated with artificial prices. Trump either knew what he was doing or he's dumber than we all thought. Any economist will tell you that the people in Banks and on Wall Street are inherently greedy. It's moronic to think that giving rich CEOs and stakeholders extra money will "stimulate the economy" because they will "do the right thing" and invest it into higher wages for their employees (LOL) and not just spend it on their own benefits and to enrich their companies. Giving money to the low and middle class WILL stimulate the economy because it leads to more consumers buying more products that increase the revenue and profits for large and small businesses. The poor and middle class won't just do stock buybacks and hoard their money in tax havens as the majority of the 1%ers had done with their unnecessary tax breaks. Even Libertarian economists would tell you that tax breaks for the middle class stimulate the economy most so why did 86% of the benefits go to the 1% and there was actually a net increase on taxes for many in the middle class due to the Trump tax bill removing tax deductibles and benefits for the middle class especially when buying new properties not to mention after a few more years it RAISES taxes on the lower and middle classes while corporations and the 1% get to keep theirs permanently.

  4.  logic rules  You're not getting me though. Just the fact that the markets can be scared into a crash just proves how unstable and artificially propped up the market is. However don't get me wrong, I'm not agreeing with you that that is why the market is even suffering right now because like I said before, the volatility of the market has shown itself for almost an entire year now with a historical world-record crash at the beginning of February a long time before the midterms. Economists have been predicting a crash for years now, so if it was in fact partly due to political instability, this crash was bound to happen literally at any point and it is long overdue according to many. Even if there is a trigger, it is not the 'Cause' for the crash. The 2008 Recession is not due to some election, it's because of deregulation over decades and the repeal of Glass Steagall by Bill Clinton, the tax cuts by George Bush along with his out-of-control deficit spending, which includes the Iraq and Afghanistan War costing Trillions.

  5. I'd say there is only a tiny chance it recovers at this point. We've already seen a "Buy, Cry, Die" pattern for the last month and a half, which most people on Wall Street would tell you is a clear sign of the end. https://ei.marketwatch.com/Multimedia/2018/11/21/Photos/ZH/MW-GY922_comp_1_20181121121242_ZH.png?uuid=a84c7152-edb0-11e8-867a-ac162d7bc1f7

  6. The real question is, when will the mainstream media admit that the market is crashing. From what I remember last time, it took them a longggg time to admit a gigantic crash was occurring especially the geniuses over a Fox News and Fox Business who were basically claiming the market would recover all the way into the Recession.

  7. The stock market is done in my opinion. If you go look at the graphs of the Dow Jones or S&P 500, you'll see what many economists call a "Buy, Cry, Die" pattern, where the first plunge is a "Buy", but then the market has an increase, but doesn't recover to where it was before the drop, and then the second drop is a "Cry", where then it only slightly increases again, and then the 3rd plunge is "Die" and that's what we just saw the other day and you can bet the market is not going to recover to where it was. I'm gonna make a prediction right now that we're at the beginning of a crash. Whether it will lead to a Recession is the question. Stock buybacks and fake gains can only hold the market together for so long and that's how the market has been ever since 2017 or even before then. https://ei.marketwatch.com/Multimedia/2018/11/21/Photos/ZH/MW-GY922_comp_1_20181121121242_ZH.png?uuid=a84c7152-edb0-11e8-867a-ac162d7bc1f7
