Fed raises rates.
Market drops.
"this is Trumps fault"
It's not Trump's fault...at least not entirely. As I said his recklessness and some of his "ideas" (trade wars are easy to win?) don't help.
But he does show a basic lack of understanding of WHY things happen.
I'm not happy with another increase either. But DJT getting one (obvious?) thing right doesn't mean he's to blame or not to blame because of that one thing.
And his detractors (of which there are many) will gladly point out that he took full credit for the rising stock market that had been trending that way for 7+ years but will blame everyone else for the falling market because there is no way he has any part of it.
That is a natural occurrence (taking credit/taking no blame) but DJT has raised it to an artform...and his supporters eat it up.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
