Think about that for a second.

And then finally, Donald Trump says, you know what?

I thought the stock market would go down way more when I launched this war.

I'm sorry, the military operation.

Now, consider a couple of things here.

Number one, when Trump says the Dow declined, the stock market decline rather hasn't been that bad.

What he's saying is he would have been willing to suffer to sacrifice rather way more on the behalf of the American people whose retirement accounts depend on the stock market.

He actually expected you to lose even more money out of your retirement account when he did this.

And he was fine with that.

He volunteered you.

It hasn't been as bad as he expected yet.

But more importantly.

this endless discussion of Dow 50 K. It has now been seven weeks since the Dow briefly hit 50000.

You can see that that happened between February six and ten.

And it has not seen those numbers since because of the fiasco that has been unleashed.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I want it back there.

You think I like logging in and seeing my index fund account the way it is lately?

It's a bloodbath.

But I've got to tell the truth.
