If you thought the markets were immune to the destabilization of Washington, today’s session proved you wrong. Whether you like Trump or not, believe his Presidency is being sabotaged by ‘fake news’ and ‘deep state’ shills, all of that is immaterial when it comes to how it will affect markets.
As of right now, hardly anyone is supporting Trump in DC, from both sides of the aisle. Moreover, his own cabinet is leaking daily and aren’t loyal to him. Foreign leaders despise him. The media is his sworn enemy and vice versa. And now the business community of greedy vile subhumans have abandoned him.
The writing is all over the wall, folks. Here’s a statement from Sen. Corker, regarding Trump.
Stop getting upset, hyperventilating over neocons and democrats combining to form an evil Trump killing robot and deal with the facts that The Donald played this very, very poorly.
For example, why would he tweet this today, in response to the Barcelona attacks?
Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017
While on the campaign trail, Trump told this story about General Pershing, which cannot be proven to be correct.
“He took 50 bullets and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem.”
Is it possible that this happened 100 years ago in the dank jungles of southern Philippines? Absolutely. Lots of retarded things happened back then. That doesn’t mean you should be promoting that sort of backward thinking today. What is his point, his end game here? Should we drench ISIS in pig’s blood before leveling their positions?
Earlier in the day he tweeted about the confederate monuments again, calling them beautiful.
…the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017
Sure, maybe the craftsmanship of the statues are nice; but if you’re interested in beauty, I am 100% sure a government funded grant program for the arts would motivate plenty of talented citizens to come up with replacements for Stonewall Jackson’s visage.
These are inappropriate statements from a man who’s letting the pressure get to him. He isn’t acting in a serious manner. Therefore, none of his policies are being taken seriously. At this point, we might be better off with President Pence, who would have an easier time prosecuting Trump’s policies than Trump.
VIX was up more than 30% today. Fear is in the air.

lol @ leadership.
Like he fucking had it, ever.
Obama was a community organizer who never worked.
Hillary Clinton lost two elections and failed to beat Trump even though she spent $1.5b more than he did.
Both were truly incompetent, lacked leadership, but were better politicians.
And that’s your defense of Trump’s leadership?
OK.
The system is broken. It truly is a swamp. Many noble minded youths go into politics thinking they can change the world for the better. Almost all are either forced out or realize the only way to succeed is to embrace the corruption and play the game the way the system wants you to. Appeal to special interest lobbyists, pander to the MSM, make dirty back room deals with the most powerful devils until you have become a powerful devil yourself.
Trump was elected to fight the system. It is anything but easy, for the strongest of leaders to fight the entrenched establishment that have had decades to build up their political networks, power and support structures. I’d say Trump is doing better than I expected.
Fly turned into a full faggot – not to be confused with half faggots
Hence the position.
Yea Trump at least has the respect of the business community and CEOs. Oh wait, not anymore.
Yeah. It is all over. The Swamp Creatures and whore media finally have it all figured out. Lets all convert to Islam stick our women in trash bags while throwing gays off of buildings. It was fun while it lasted. The whole Jesus thing.
The guy who claims to need all the facts before making a statement is fucking tweeting about some BS pig’s blood story.
Yeah… this is really happening.
C’mon America. Seriously. Wake up. It’s beyond embarrassing.
This will blow over just like everything else. He just needs to shut the fuck up for a weekend. Can it be done?
What will “blow over”. Trump is a giant Pez dispenser full of red pills. Those pills are working. Give it time.
He needs to lay low for a weekend, like I used to when I got drunk and insulted too many people… just let it blow over for a few weekends… stayed indoors
We have all been there. But we are not the President in these times. Never back down. Strike while the iron is hot. People are getting killed for nothing all over the world all the time. Trump will not wait anymore. More power to him.
Trailer trash at it’s best.
Nope.
Dear Nazi – I used to take you seriously. Now, I just laff at you.
*laugh
Does anyone really think Trump gives 2 shits about monuments?
What he gives a fuck about is his redneck base. He loses those degenerates… it’s over.
Same reason why Fly panders to the same base. Page views.
It’s more profitable to pander to these Redneck Trump fascists than smart people.
They’ve already proved how easily conned they are.
I respect your intelligence, but let’s be real here. You know Trump and his minions are the stupidest America has to offer.
No one is defending Nazis, no matter how much the Left or the MSM try to smear things.
Free speech is still a core value of this country, however. And when it comes down to it, the only time you need free speech protections is when that speech is offensive.
The Left is either consciously or unconsciously ignoring the danger in what they are doing with their PC zealotry. What happens when things swing even further the other way in reaction to their suppression of what they believe to be “hate speech” undeserving of protection? When the same tactics they are employing are turned against them and they are suddenly the ones with their speech suppressed?
Do not surrender your privacy in the name of supposed “security”. Do not surrender your free speech rights in the name of supposed “safe spaces”. Do not surrender your right to bear arms in the name of supposed “safety”.
If you give up these rights to advance your political agenda, those rights are gone, forever.
VIX is a %
Who quotes a % change of a %?
Apparently everyone…
Please explain how the VIX is a % it sounds like a great learning opportunity
Each point the VIX goes higher represents one percent annualized in the implied volatility on the S&P 500.
So a VIX of 15 implies an annualized change of 15% on the S&P 500.
What doesn’t make a lot of sense is saying the VIX is up 30% to close at 15%…
It’s all points though
Absolutely, we need exactly that – promoting that sort of backward thinking today, dipping bullets in pig blood, and shooting those illiterate, smelly moozlim mongrels on sight. I am pretty sure the Czechs would sign up for that strategy if making it legal to shoot moozlims in their neighborhoods would not produce desired results.
Did you get that ladies? “…privately-owned firearms to defend the security of the country,..”:

“The Heads” were yacking about the “Cohn’ issue being the market mover. But, Corker comments probably carry more weight in the long run.
I love everything Trump has done as our President. Sick of the media crying about every little tweet. America needs to grow a set.
What has he done?
Crickets
He passed a Russian sanctions bill
He red pilled a whole nation. Drops mike…
let me guess…
You also believe these things:
1 – PizzaGate
2 – Seth Rich
3 – Millions of illegal votes
4 – Birther
Keep going?
Millions of illegal votes– yes.
Birther– possibly. But Odumbo is a dyed in the wool mooslim. Of that I am sure.
Throw yourself into a lit fireplace
We’re quite the angry libttard aren’t we.
This is the best attack on Trump yet and all for saying there was violence on both sides in Charlottesville. I’m betting on the Pres.
Obama shot himself in the foot as soon as he took office with calling the Boston police dumb and then running guns into Mexico. Those were the first two of many political mistakes so no, Obama was not a good politician.
And four Sec. of Defenses; Gates, Hagel, Panetta and Carter. Talk about turmoil, how soon you forget. See that red line, if you cross it, I’LL SHOW YOU, I’LL DRAW ANOTHER ONE…
Obozo was the most dangerous bomber in chief. He loved bombing while wearing his peace prize. That’s the kind of delusional control they have with libtard sold out media. Obozo was a killer yet people believe he is a saint cus he gave the best bread and circus of them all.
0bama’s list of failure is endless.
Fools believe he was good for this country. Only fools.
Trump is standing ground against globalists. They thought they could control him but it did not work. Trump is taking control of fbi and surrounding himself with career millitary personnel. He is diging in. Notice he let bannon out of the dog house and kushner and family are gone. Trump is going to war with globalits and putting America first. Fuck the libtards in the ass, trump. Make america great again. One deal at a time.
Many Trump voters have vaporized now. Voting against the Clintons was a good idea at the time but thats about all the service Trump is likely to be remembered for.
What the fuck are talking about. There is no “base”. There is America. Go tell that horseshit to people who are starting to live the American Dream again. Look dude. None of this is complicated. When the Dems and MSM go moar lunatic. They are fucking losing. Let that sink in. Think.
Trump voters stronger than ever after seeing the freak show this week.
I tired to tell you Fly during the candidacy that this would end up being a referendum on race. At the time you said that Trump is no more racists than anyone else. Which I sort of accept. But you have to acknowledge the fact that Trump truly does believe all these racist white Americans running around with hard-ons for hate are his base. And he is lumping the rest of you in with them. It’s no wonder people on all sides are jumping ship.
And shame on you! You are all smart enough to have saw this coming and you chose to pretend you couldn’t hear the dog whistles for the music. Now he is losing his mind in office and that’s not 9D competitive kite boarding, it’s just extremely fucked up.
Classic race baiting. Good job heckler. You just can not let it go. Wild guess you are white and gay. If not gay small in stature. Weakling basically. Most likely just a race baiting pathetic human being. We see you. Welcome to the future. The non racist still have some hope you people will wake up.
You make me laugh ironman and I have to give you credit for that at least
He speculates on your race and orientation in one sentence and calls himself a non racist in another. Classic ironturd – Hasn’t been sober since high school.
Your posts sound as if you’re still in high school. Go drink something the the normal kids do.
As bannon said let dems rUn on identity politics. Trump will rUn on jobs. Dems are fucked and dNC server will reveal all.
No Infrastructure Advisory Council either huh?
Trump knew more about Infrastructure than his confederate generals lol
Trump is playing 12d chess while accumulating spoos. BTFD!
This is no different than the other pullbacks we’ve had over the years. Buy the dip!
This plus Trumps weeks of tweets re: all time highs. Does not bode well for markets, but at least will be a buyable dip post Trumps political self-immolation.
Trump looks bad
He did not pick I best people look at where stuff is made. Any global ceo would hate Trump made in America hurts the bottom line.
I live in the south all I can say is shame on you for destroing your history.
Research the history of the Lee statue, when it was built for what reasons. Nothing to say of the history, which I respect, America has a complicated past, Trump is divide and conquer, not unite and stabilize, he made this issue about race.
Sounds like you’re talking about Obama
Obama never defended neo nazis on live television while his aides grimaced in actual pain?
No he just funded and trained ISIS.
The swamp is irrelevant at this point. You will Understand when you see the UNPRECEDENTED rally in Phoenix coming up. Jeff Flake is a goner
Sure Trump doesn’t have any allies N O W.
But next year he will. Roy Moore, Kid Rock, and probably a DOZEN more senators
in his corner. and every new GOP house member say 50 or so all Trump partisans.
He has always been several steps ahead of his opposition. How can he be taken down when his detractors MCain, Romney, and Rubio have aligned themselves with ANTIFA?
Watch what happens today when the wikileaks bombshell takes out Mueller.
By a 3 to 1 margin GOP voters agree with the presidents response to the Charlottesville charade. Opposing the president has not gained one damn thing for anybody and is daily affirmation for his supporters that they made the right decision
So many vulnerable democrat senators in red states trying to hold on …
try to keep up people.
Kid Rock needs to put out another good song before I can support him. That Cowboy song was fucking rad (and also about the west) but that’s from like 1999. Most his other shit is mediocre at best.
