I don’t have a real answer to that, but I will say that I believe a LOT of the delays and timing are meant to protect us from that. The Q/Trump team seems to time their most disruptive actions for after the market close, especially on Fridays and weekends, in order to prevent a massive drop / over-reaction in the market.
I think that is also part of the reason for the EOs that give him the power to seize the assets of DS actors.
I think that is also one of the reasons that he told us to watch for CEOs stepping down. It’s not the companies that are evil; it’s the people running them. Just one example: think about Twitter. Trump uses it! Praying Medic uses it. Many decent people use it to keep in touch with friends and family. It has the potential for a lot of positive uses. Yet I’m pretty sure the CEO is DS. Q has threatened him in many posts.
I really think that Trump is concerned with ALL aspects of our well-being. He wouldn’t (IMO) take down the DS only to leave us all impoverished in a wrecked economy. FWIW, I have considered selling, too. But then I’d have to figure out where to put the money instead. I’d be stuck with a ginormous tax bill. Etc. So unless I have a sudden brainstorm that tells me how to get around those 2 big issues, I’m still in. (If you have any ideas on that topic, I’d definitely like to hear them.)
Do I think the market will take a hit? Probably. Or at least I think we’ll see some volatility. But I think it will sort itself out. I’m not a market expert or an economic expert, so the above is just my best guess. I have put a fair amount of thought into it, and that’s what I’ve come up with.
Regarding the market-
Please check me on the crazy meter. I’m thinking that the market is actually run by the investors, right? So, the more money an investor has, the more “say” he has in what the market does.
Say someone like Soros, who has more money than God. What if he said “I don’t care about the taxes and hits my accounts will take, I’m going to sell off a whole carp load of stocks. I will in effect start a run on the market. Stock market tanks, I don’t care, I’ve still got loads of money.”
As a result, we’re forced into an artificial depression/recession.
Am I close? Does someone or a group of someones really have that much power?
