Fed raises rates.


Market drops.


"this is Trumps fault"

 Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Economic Growth was cyclical. The stronger the growth cycle, the stronger the inevitable downturn will be. This is why you raise rates when it's hot to slow down the growth, and lower rates when it cools down to keep it from falling too far. Overall it leads to more stable growth over the long term.
