Trump says he's going to do something.

Normal people say, "That will be horrible for the market."

Trump supporters say, "Why do liberals always overreact?"

The stock market goes down, proving normal people right.

Trump supporters change the subject, the only alternative of ignorant cowards.

Most Trump supporters don't have enough income to invest, so a lot of this is like Scooby Doo talking about the rise and fall in price for Scooby snacks.

They're like, Okay, that's rough for Scooby Doo.

There is no follow-up thought in their brains.

They are not smart enough to connect the dots.
 
But even the non-investing trumpers dont like people talking about Trump crashing the markets on his watch. It bothers them. They might pretend that it doesn’t, but they can only defend it for so long. Most of the regulars have gone quiet
 
This is how our orange Extortionist-In-Chief plans to coerce win-lose deals out of all of our allies and trading partners, while collapsing the world economy and sending all of Americans' retirement accounts into the toilet. What a genius! Can't believe I didn't vote for that.

Sure. They'll go quiet, as many have.

Or they'll just keep defending and trolling, as many also have.

But your point is well taken.
 
Look at the bight side. 'Wealth Inequity' is being corrected.
 
The whole secret to MAGAs and the manipulation thereof is that they cannot process even the idea of second order effects.
 
Why do you think Trump voters have less of an idea of what is happening now than Harris voters?

Good. It needs a correction. Maybe interest rates will come down now. My money is not in the DJ or Nasdaq anyway.

Bringing back America and American jobs like no other president would have the cajónes to do. Now finally after 5 decades maybe CITIZENS will get good paying jobs instead of millions of illegal leaching aliens.
 
Yakshi, why do you hate the working class? They are nothing like what you think.
