What are you talking about?
A) how you and MSNBCorpheus, er, @mentorpheus have been clutching your pearls non-stop at every little thing
B) how it's completely ridiculous for you to say that Trump has no long-term strategy, and then cite short-term stock price fluctuations as "proof"
Just relax and give the guy a chance.
**"A"" chance? What are you talking about? I STFU'd during both his first term and his opposition term.
I'm saying what I see. And I see that Trump is a continuation of the decline, it's other face, rather than its solution.
Do what you will with that, I realize that hope dies last.
@Vermillion-Rx it might be an attempt to signal honesty, meaning she sees this as having LTR potential.
Sudden value drop in the USD (on the FX market) seems to be correlated.
@Stigma I don't know much about monetary economics. I know a bit about psychological games. And Trump is all about games, so he's quite transparent.
This is sensationalist politics. It's classic psychopathy area, where people are just pawns in games. There's no notion of "care" whatsoever, the actual practical implications of economic policies are unknown / left for others to decide (the elite that back up his government), and all that matters is the psychological benefit.
I can only compare it (not only Trumpism , but the whole far-right surge worldwide) to the pre-WWI and pre-WWII periods, where people were so jaded by crises and a lack of a vision and a prospect that were captured by a manic frenzy.
(That's no pro-Dem argument, "the Left" is as much a part of the decline as Trump.)

What does that mean to you?
Market reactions are the least rational data to draw from.

Here's a look at the long term.
Even so. They picked up on the fact that we are entering a short-term strategy era.
Trump's politics is simply a carpet-Defect move on all fronts. It's a typical greedy algorithm, aimed at cashing out on all the slower-but-steadier politics of the past
I wrote that two weeks ago. Seems Wall Street picked up on the fact, and started its own cash out.
