  • My condolences to you and your family.  I can unfortunately relate... my brother passed away on Sunday (some may remember him from here & the old OB forum as Taynted_Fayth) so we're also trying to

It would create even more panic in the short term. At this point, a change in leadership cannot un-ring the bell on the disaster that he has caused. 

Apparently, Trump is so unhinged he wants to fire the head of the Federal Reserve, Jay Powell. So you tell me if he's a stabilizing factor.

I think Trump is going to do a lot more harm than good going forward but the markets would completely implode if he got severely sick or died.

Part of me wants to find out.

Well hey if you want someone to get sick and die that’s on you. But you would be expecting everybody to be rational investors in a time of crisis. And that won’t happen. For example, just this morning the first circuit breaker for the stock exchange flipped for the second time this week. And the worst is yet to come.

You are making the assumption that the entire market collapse is on trump? That’s how I understand it. If that’s what you think then fine, but there are many more factors then one president.

I think we actually agree, but it's Trump who thinks he's responsible for the markets when he's not.  I don't think his literal incapacitation would be a really negative thing.
