Headline on CNN Business (Fake News, Very Sad!):
Dow tumbles nearly 3,000 points – worst point drop in history
See?
Yuuuge!
Coming up: This is gonna be the biggest recession EVER!
and
This is gonna be the biggest pandemic EVER!
But only the heroic efforts of Our Glorious Leader will be able to reverse the Demo-led drop.
They may be ahead for now, but if we hold the course and unite behind Our Glorious Leader, he shall prevail.
On Jan 19, 2017, stock market value of DJIA was 19,807.
Now, DJIA is 19,843, and dropping.
Can’t wait to hear Trump bullshit his way out of this one.
Unfortunately, pretty easy to bullshit your way out of this one. Something along the lines of “this was a once in a lifetime crisis. Anyone would have been fucked by this. Not my fault. Dems would have done it worse.” Seriously, that’s all there is to it. And the true believers will believe.
Remember this is the same guy – the same fucking guy – who last week tweeted celebratorily about the biggest stock market gain in history, after some of the worst losses in history. The guy is a fucking side show carnival barker. He can go to hell.

Being an eternal optimist, I still have some hope in humanity, but I’m only giving it even money right about now that we will be free of this scourge. It really should be a slam dunk, but, unfortunately, it’s not. Humanity and its lack thereof is really disappointing me right now.

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I find some things are easier to take if there’s a soundtrack: Way down we go.
Buy high, sell low; that’s the Trimp trick. Take it from an expert in bankruptcy and bailouts: NOW is the time to plan your loan defaults because all this sickness. Only lenders are to blame for trusting money with you. Who’s the sucker then?
“Buy when blood runs in the streets,” said JP Morgan IIRC. He implied metaphorical blood, not the hemoglobin stuff. But we may see (and clean up after) leapers when Dow resumes around 16k. Bye-bye, cruel world. Ka-chunk.
Time to dig those Dow 15000 hats* out of the back of the closet!
*Yes, I know it’s pay-walled. I can’t read it either. The only important parts are a.) the headline and b.) the date.
They are the only important parts, but for the curious:
