US stock market is down 10% since Trump’s inauguration, the worst 10-week start under a new president since George W. Bush in 2001 during the height of the dot-com selloff.

No wonder he delayed his insane tariff proclamation until the market closed, one hour later than close.
No wonder he said everything’s “going very well” ‼️ before heading off to FL to golf, on the taxpayer’s dime!
MAGA GOP approve of all of this mess 😡
I don’t think so Amy, after listening to Mark Ellis talking with Nicole Wallace on “ Deadline White House,” I agree with Mark’s take. It’s all about power and getting companies and corporations to bend the knee to King Trump. He alone decides the fate of the planet, except Russia.
It's both: extra stupid people (who think they're geniuses because they have blue blood--sorry, a lot of money) and have an insatiable addiction to seeing people grovel before them.
The cause is the capture of US public life by a billionaire class that lives in a culture of total impunity.
The 2nd worst is Trump 1.0 even though he inherited a great economy then, too. And even Dubya, who was a pretty terrible president, didn't bring the dot com bubble about through bad policy. But he did follow the usual GOP playbook of tax cuts for billionaires, resulting in the inevitable recession.
We need billboards in every swing district that lists month on month economic indicators under Biden and under Trump. The impacts of this have not been felt yet, give it time it will get worse as firms cut back. That UAW worker better have paid up union dues because he is getting laid off real soon.
