It is a charge that, in part, he hopes will serve as a rebuke to President Barack Obama’s presidency and indirectly to Clinton who served as U.S. Secretary of State.

At least one Wall Street economist agrees with Trump.

In an op-ed written in The Wall Street Journal late Wednesday Morgan Stanley chief economist, Ruchir Sharma, says, Trump’s bubblicious depiction of the state of equities isn’t off base, given the degree to which the Federal Reserve is propping up stocks by maintaining ultralow interest rates in place. Sharma says about 60% of the gains from the stock market since dovish monetary policy was enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis can be attributed to central-bank support.

Pretty safe statement, since markets always create bubbles. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

A completely accurate statement that everyone on Wall Street knows is true. Whether it will end in a crash or a whimper nobody knows but end it will

Trump is right. The high market is directly tied to big government. If trump wins the market will be in the toilet in a hurry. Wall Street has no clue how to make money in the real world.
