They will crash your 401Ks, pension funds, and will suck the profit out of everything of value that we own. They will then blame poor people, minorities and immigrants. Trump is the President of the United States of ENRON.

It's a bubble! The big money is buying the market up, taking profit, shorting for more profits, and buying it up again. Rinse, Repeat. until the bubble bursts. Once they have wrung every last middle-class dollar, these Masters of the Universe will be happy to crash it.

Getting weary of watching Joe and Mika spend 1 or 2 hours every morning on Morning Joe talking about what DEMOCRATS should be DOING about CRIME. They should be talking about the outright criminality of the Trump regime. While I admire them both, feels like Morning Joe and MSNBC are caving.
