So basically, it's now back to where it was a year ago.

Great times for investors.

It is still falling... and virtually every market website is blaming it on the administration's policy with China.

Down 3% now, below 24,300 which is where it was exactly 1 year ago.

Yeah, the market hasn't been great this year. Of course, if I knew what that meant for next year, I'd be getting rich right now. I do not.

One person close to the White House told the WSJ that the president is "glued" to the stock market.

Stocks took their latest downturn after the president declared himself "a Tariff Man" in a tweet Tuesday. The White House has been embroiled in a trade dispute with China, and Trump has pledged to take a hard line in negotiations.

Well, it's certainly his stock market fall, thanks to 'Tariff Man'.

Pretty damn rough on everybody who has tried to invest their hard-won savings in a retirement fund, which is far, far more than 1%.

Those latter people were the ones that posters like you were saying would be so grateful to Trump when the stock market continued the trajectory it had followed for several years since before Trump was elected.

You think they won't notice when their investments are hit because of Tariff Twitter Man?
