Donald Trump tweeted on Mar 2, 2018:



However, his unbridled optimism was dashed on October 11, 2018 when the words BREAKING NEWS continually flashed across the television screen:

"Dow sheds over 800 points (-831.83), worst drop since February. Worst day for US tech stock since August 2011."

P.S. The "storm" that hit the stock market seemed to be "tremendously big and tremendously wet". :)

Has EVERYTHING to do with interest rates, NOTHING to do with trade. :D

The market is expected to hit new record highs before the end of the year. :cool::cool::cool:

If you believe what you say, you can stake all your life savings even your head on the stock market now.

By the way, I notice you have gone for face transplants again. This time, your face seems to be swollen, perhaps due to infections in the process of surgery. Anyway, I hope to see you with your head on your body next year. :cool:

Swollen? You need glasses (or a new pair), my friend! :rolleyes:

I guess a trade war might be better than letting a country steal from you forever, and it might be easier than facing the consequences of letting the theft happen.

We have been in a trade war for many years. We have been losing. The first step to winning a trade war is to acknowledge that we are in one. Then act accordingly.

2. Another day of bloodbath in the stock market, or rather, "waterbath" -- very wet, from the standpoint of water.

Wall Street posts second day of steep losses, falling over 500 points (-545.91).

Instead of threatening he has "a lot more to do" on China trade, Trump should realise he has "a lot more to do" on his own country's economy, otherwise Wall Street can keep falling like "Trumpty Drumpty".

Sorry to hear your communist friends are suffering, now that the gravy train has ended. :D

My great friend, don't ever stand RIGHT in the path of a hurricane, otherwise you will be "tremendously wet, from the standpoint of water". :)

Indeed. No need to worry that you'll become wet from ethyl glycol or any other liquid. :rolleyes:

You are beating a DEAD horse my friend! :D

My great friend, you are supposed to be fighting for your cult leader in your imaginative civil war. Why waste your time here beating a dead horse and ending up dissolved by wet acid rain -- wet, from the standpoint of water? :)
