It’s always fun to see stuff happen that people warn us in advance would be disastrous. Remember the debt ceiling crisis or when S&P cut the rating of US sovereigns or when the government shut down and it was supposed to destroy mankind?
How about Ebola or Greece or perhaps Italian elections, or BREXIT — or Trump getting elected?

“Our talks with China, a lot of interesting things are happening. We’ll see what happens … I could go up another at least $300 billion and I’ll do that at the right time,” President Donald Trump said Thursday.

Everything means nothing.
True,

Think of a stone mason cutting a large block of granite.
He hammers it hundreds of times; the granite is unfazed.
Then one more hit and 1 piece of stone is 2
I have no idea what’s going on; but Isaac Newton said
