This seems flexible, since “they” see Trump improving the economy, possibly holding the x-xx-xxx slush money, the trade deal with China, returning mnfg back to USA, etc. Why would they tolerate his successes, and more on the way, if they can break the economy at will, do you think?

JMHO, tanking the Stock Market/US economy 1) Has already been done, 2) Would most likely be timed for mid-to-late October for maximum effect on elections and 3) Is the Cabal's Ultimate Weapon, not to mention just about the last rock they've got left to throw at us.

...also JMHO, that particular event (if it was a deliberate act) shows more than a teeny bit of panic.

Threats are the favorite tool of a fool.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Market forces are very strong (a not so secret secret of capitalism). They can be manipulated, especially at certain times and circumstances; but, I repeat, market forces are very strong.

The extreme vulnerability of the American economy is to sharply rising interest rates, which will make payments on the $20 trillion debt increasingly difficult. But in the short run, increasing interest rates can actually stimulate the economy by encouraging businesses to accelerate their investment programs (before borrowing costs rise even higher).

Of course we are in the 10th year of a massive bull market in stocks (following the 2008-2009 financial crisis); so, that will definitely become a bear market sometime during Trump’s 8 years, and there may even be recession(s); but, between tax cuts, deregulation and military spending I think it is possible to remain optimistic that none of these will derail the Trump movement.

Also, keep in mind that the US Dollar-denominated international financial system is the foundation of much of the wealth and power of the global elites. So they will not be looking to destroy this “Golden goose” for any minor gains such as swinging an election cycle or two.

“They” have a lot to lose too.
