As the American stock market opened to lows unseen since the 2008 economic meltdown, (as of this writing it is down only 373 points — a fairly typical down day), Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter to refresh his longstanding political message that the American economy allows “China and Asia to dictate the agenda”.

Is he going to close down Walmart?
It happens when manufacturing is shifted overseas, and it’s happened before.
The buyers are wading in. Time to make a killing(short term)
That may be true. but also all the FED’s artificially pumping money into the market with QE 1,2,3 and whatever number they’re on, created a massive bubble. Bubbles always burst at some point.
Yep.
Look at his tweets.
(And someone’s tie company isn’t too tied to China? We need to put tariffs on cars coming into the U.S.! But don’t put tariffs on ties coming in - or at least put them on others!) /s.

“Bush’s Fault©” soon to be replaced by “Trump’s Fault”(pat pend)
Stocks will end up for the day…a suckers rally…??????????
Trump could turn this up big time by letting Americans know that our hi-tech military is dependent on critical electronic components and parts manufactured outside the U.S., including in China. There is no reason for outsourcing our military infrastructure to countries likely to enemies or to those who could leverage that dependence to their advantage.
Who was responsible for the 2008 market crash?
Democrats or Republicans?
Townhall.com, IJReview and other news sites reported that The Donald blamed Republicans, not Dems, for the crash of 2008.
