US stocks shed $5.4tn in two days as Trump’s tariffs stoke recession fears

While true, it's not really fair to attribute the march 2020 covid drops to Trump. Every market on earth tanked, and there wasn't much any admin could've done to stop it.

However, this was 100% in Trump's control and is 100% self-inflicted. Has any US admin ever tanked the markets entirely on their own, in all of history... I mean, apart from the Republicans ~100 years ago (hilariously, also with Tariffs)?

In points, but not in percentage. At least not yet. But it sure seems to want to measure up to all major crisis and leave its mark.

I'm looking ahead at one bleak, empty future. One that wasn't there last week. It's really starting to sink in how the entire country is becoming one big crater. And there's a portion of the population celebrating. They won't be for very long once things really start rippling and their shitty little businesses stop pulling in money

When the stock market is up, rich people buy new yachts, if the stock market is down, normal people start starving.
