I always laugh at people who trade on political news. I used to day trade for a living, and that is amateur hour.
If the market truly believed there was even a small chance economic tariffs would be put into place, they would sell first and ask questions later, that's not the case.
As a person who advocates tariffs, I find the market reaction very discouraging.
It's far too abstract at this point. That is a very difficult campaign promise to actually keep, and the financial market doesn't factor in shit that far out.
Maybe that's a factor in the currency market, although this is probably due to expected reduction of cash from illegals working in the us, whether he gets tough or not. Ironically trumps win ended up making Mexican imports 15% cheaper.

What sucks about that is the presidential candidate usually couldn't give a fuck less about the market that doesn't give a shit about him either, and his policies often can effect the market.
I'll give you this though, he is mostly just a puppet being pulled on strings by the cock suckers that paid to get him elected. Their decisions though greatly effect the market and if they wanted a guy like him elected what do you think that says about how much they care about growth and change?
Ok, so you think a balance of power prevents Trump from having too much power as a politician? Then why praise Obama? How did he have any more or little effect on the economy then Trump did?
I never know with these things. There are some things the president has very little control over and some things the president has a very large focus of control over. I often confuse which is what. Trying not to stumble over economics can be very difficult.
Yeah, they have an effect on the market. Things like job creation and inflation are very influential. Ironically, it he economy is getting to the point where strong job growth will start to harm market performance because we are approaching full employment and then you get into a situation where labor shortages cause inflation.

The conservatives were stupid enough to elect someone who has been a democrat for all but 4 years of their life.

He's not repealing Obama care, there won't be a wall, he says they should take down their pathetic confederate flag, and he said he's going to defend gay marriage. 
Hope you republicans have fun with your wasted four years, because the next 8 years after that will be going to someone with a little bit of sense.

I'm much less concerned about his policies than I am about his capability and suitability for the job. He has no experience holding public office, and the presidency is the worst place to have someone who is learning on the job. he doesn't seem to have much interest in preparation or knowing as much as he can. He seems to just wing it.

So let me get this straight. Trump is a closet liberal and that's why he doesn't have a bit of sense?

everybody check out this Trump speech. if i had heard this speech before the election I would have supported him over anyone but Bernie or a third party candidate.
Asante, what are your thoughts on this speech?
on the basis of this speech, it's easy to understand why the country elected Trump over Hillary.

Trump is part of an illuminati sleeper cell. All this backpedaling he's been doing about the issues he was so passionate about is evident it was all a rouse.

Lol. I just saw his 60 minutes thing about Hillary. "She's good people. I don't want to hurt her." He's such a con. The wall is a fence. Next week it will be some markers just so the nice Mexicans know where the border is.

It makes even more sense to me now knowing they are in fact distant cousins. That's why the DNC went and rigged the primaries for Hilary and fucked over Bernie... because the Illuminati wasn't taking any chances man. Hilary and Trump are two heads to the same beast. The left and right wings are both of the same bird.

that's a good thing isn't it? all his crazy bad ideas were never sincere and he has no plans to act on them and as soon as he got elected he started speaking much more wisely and prudently. so far it seems like the theory that he was acting crazy to get elected but will actually be a good leader is starting to pan out (far too early to say ).
the fact that he seems to be moving away from the disruptive ideas he campaigned on is probably a promising thing.

He's has severe personality defects that make him a very dangerous person to be leading a country. I wouldn't have voted for him if I agreed with his politics. There is something wrong with him,

You 'wouldn't' have voted for him? So in the end you turn out to be a closeted Trump supporter.

i feel the same. though I do hope he does well for america, but i dont trust him based on how he treats people. Calling everyone losers and stuff gets kind of annoying.
and i hope he was joking about climate change being a hoax.

I call to your memory Obama's inauguration speech. Such wonderful words, such music to our ears, but America ponly went futher up shit creek.
It will be the same now.
Yes they are beautiful words. He knows what the people want to hear. That does not make him righteous.

I agree he has severe personality defects. So does Hillary, although they are different ones.
But as time passes since the election I have heard some things that make me increasingly happy he won rather than her.
I feel like my wife and I were fooled into thinking Hillary was the lesser of two Evils by a media that the Clinton foundation owned and controlled.
the Majority of people didn't fall for it, it seems, and so far I find myself grateful for that and kicking myself for being so easily duped by the corrupt establishment.
that speech I posted by Trump a few posts ago really changed my perspective on Trump, as did his acceptance speech and the commentary of some of his supporters who I greatly respect such as Tim Kennedy and Chael Sonnen.
the fact that Tim Kennedy supports Trump over Hillary really means a lot if you know anything about him.
I can't recommend highly enough people listen to the latest Dan Carlin Common Sense podcast on Trump ans the latest Sam Harris podcast "the most powerful clown". both are very interesting, neither are pro Trump.
