Where's the stock market love?

We can all be thrilled to little bitty pieces that Trumpie-poo is back in action (for now, anyway) and is resuming his mission of destroying American democracy and flailing about for a way to avoid losing the election.

One thing surprises me, though. Yesterday, the stock market rallied on news that the various warring parties were getting close to a deal on a new stimulus package. This was after some prominent administration suit--I forget who--said that failure to reach such a deal would be very harmful to the US economy.

However, today, Trump told his White House lackeys and his love-slave, Moscow Mitch, to end all stimulus negotiations "until after the election."

The stock market immediately tanked: -375 points on the Dow.

I thought that the stock market was literally the only thing that Trump thought was important. 200,000+ deaths? Yeah, but the stock market is doing "beautifully." So now, he cuts off the aid package--whatever form it was going to take--and tells everyone that there will be another solid month of economic suffering before anything gets done to fix it. And of course, the market has reacted and will react very negatively to that.

Dementia?

Trump has seen the latest polling including his campaign's internal polling that shows him getting blown out.  I understand he went apeshit when he found out what his latest Pennsylvania numbers show.  Now he is holding the stimulus hostage trying to blackmail voters into voting for him. There will be no stimulus until after Biden is sworn in because Donnie is just that petty.  Good luck with getting the airlines up and running again. I hope all of you Trump lovers enjoy the 1k economy seats to Vegas. 

Oh, it is more likely roid fueled mania than it is dementia. His roids are coming down in dosage now so he is incredibly angry and wants to lash out. 

Well Pelosi does not want to back down on her demands to bail out democratic cities that are in serious trouble. 2 can play this game and Trump and others are serious when they claim we can’t afford. Why the hell do we want to bailout cities that have been so poorly governed?

Problem is they are not thinking of you and I, that is par for the course. Sad as that is.

Because those cities are inhabited by Americans.
