This is the stock market’s worst start to a presidential term in modern history

1. The irony is hard to miss: a man who claims to be pro-business is pushing policies that actively destabilise markets, alienate trade partners, and inflate prices for his voter base, mostly ordinary Americans.

2. If only there were some sort of indicator that this *might* happen. Sadly there just wasn’t enough data on Trump and his financial history. There’s absolutely no way anyone could have predicted this.

3. Personally, I’m shocked that the things that every expert predicted would happen, if Trump followed through on his campaign promises, are actually happening.

4. Perhaps he is simply just a terrible President for business?

5. His extended family has been playing the downside. They are all profiting well from this action.
   Trump Properties continue to absorb large influx of cash from various political entities.

6. So far… but also basically ever

7. Sure it is but look at the positive side..in the long run this will be the Best start to a billionaire leveraging the population, to increase their own wealth and power, in modern history…In the goal column of billionaires this guy is killing it. Amass as much personal wealth and power as possible…Hard to see how he is failing at the goal. I would love to hear a counter point to how he isnt succeeding?

8. He’s going on his seventh bankruptcy. All right!
