It's bedtime Stefcep, you're drunk.
On X you say? Wow.
I'm glad at least that Pence restarted the Space program
Where does it matter where the Union posts?
Why do you ridicule Pence and the Space program-it has led to many of the things you use and rely on every single day. Its hugely important for tech R and D and the economy.
Analysts say otherwise.

I didn’t say you should blame Trump. I said you should blame those anticipating a Trump win.
So you’re saying you’ll blame Harris because analysts and investors incorrectly assumed Trump will win? It’s Harris’ fault they did so?
Sounds like you just want to blame Harris and you’re not a serious person.
Yeah, in the relevant contexts. Why is that so hard for your peanut to grasp?

Probably because it's utter BS, lol
WTF? Stock market going is predicated on Trump winning. Stock market going down is predicated on Harris winning. Where's your problem?
What you mean is that you can't contemplate that your world view might be skewed.

Wouldn't it be Trump's fault if he loses?

But the stockmarket isn't going down. It's going up. And Harris is ahead in the polls.
Looks like someone's world view might be skewed.
Why would Trump be to blame that the market dislikes Harris?
The market doesn't care about polls.

Nah let’s follow the logic for a second.
The stock market went well during Trump’s term due to anticipating Biden winning in 2020. He was the favourite after all. Thanks again Biden!
Yeah right its Trumps fault the market dislikes Harris.

Hall of Famer
The argument that the stock market is BOOMING because Trump's odds went from $1.91 to $1.83 is an all-timer, thanks for the laughs

Why is Harris to blame for the analysts anticipating a Trump win?

Except it doesn't. She's expected to win and the market is doing just fine.
Wrong again. The market fell 2 days before the election. History.

Yeah they got spooked that Trump might get close. It corrected afterwards though when Biden became president and it’s boomed ever since. Biden is undeniably amazing for the stock market.
