Heh. The gold bugs have been so pwned for the past 2 years. At least that’s one good thing to come from this.

Wait…Trump’s been telling us that the economy was going to tank because we’re too tied to China?! When?!

Of course, I’ve known about it for ages, but that’s because I don’t listen to fraudsters like Ron Paul. I actually analyzed this.

The market is not tanking. It’s creating a buying oppty.

Yeah… Trump is just stoking fear in the hearts of the authoritarian worshippers who might vote for him.

I’ll believe it when I see that he was actively shorting the market since he knew this was going to happen and he’s such a good money guy.

Otherwise he’s just blowing smoke.

At this point, I’m starting to think that Trump is just saying whatever will get him elected and it doesn’t matter any more what he actually says.

He’s getting too predictable.

Well, I don’t know about shorting the market, but apparently Trump has actually been investing a lot less in China than the guys bankrolling the Republican Party.

The media loves to make everything worse. These things happen after the huge bull market we’ve been experiencing. The economy is strong. There will be some adjustments. I hate when they scare people like this

Gee what makes you think that?

Quite obviously, Trump doesn’t read Krugman:

Attempts to explain daily stock movements are usually foolish: a real-time survey of the 1987 stock crash found no evidence for any of the rationalizations economists and journalists offered after the fact, finding instead that people were selling because, you guessed it, prices were falling. And the stock market is a terrible guide to the economic future: Paul Samuelson once quipped that the market had predicted nine of the last five recessions, and nothing has changed on that front.

Please. As always, sit it out.

This could get very messy! Vote Trump.

Now THAT’S a much more fitting slogan than “Make America Great Again”.

The slow collapse of the Chinese stockmarket is easily explained in that they have been over expanding and spending money they don’t have for some time. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop the panic everywhere else.

Most of Trump’s supporters will be in the same trailers seven years from now, Stock Market or Stuck Market…

A Moveable Gult? Are your sure he’s not referring to Chris Christie?

So, does this mean that Trump’s clothing line (100% manufactured in China) will be deeply discounted?
