And continuing to go. Because we have a person, honestly, everyone thinks like, oh, my gosh, I cannot believe Donald Trump. He's such a strong man. He's not a strong man. He's a coward. He is scared, everyone.
Bullies are, as you know, if you have a child, if you work with children, if you work with adolescents, young people, bullies are what? They're scared. And Donald Trump is scared because the body is rejecting the organ. Meaning Trump and the GOP Republicans are rejecting organs. Donald Trump. And I don't mean lawmakers. I mean his actual own constituents around the country. And he's scared. He's nervous. He's a bully. He's scared and he's nervous. Don't fall for it like, oh, my gosh, you know, he's so strong, whatever. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be concerned about it. What I'm saying is that there is behind all of this, he's a bully and a coward to Sylvia Strong right 100% as we watch the market.
And producers, you can jump in and tell me what's going on with the market because I can't do 40 things at once. But there's a lot of red going on with the market. How far is it down? And this is really going to freak him out. What's nuts, Don, is I'm looking right now, and it appears that in just the past couple of days, we've lost six months of growth, at least in the NASDAQ.
We are now at a place that we were back on September 16th of last year. That's how much... growth, he's wiped out in just a couple of days.
We've lost all of the gains, if any, since Donald Trump. By the way, I still have hair gel. It's still white in my hair. We've lost all of the gains, if any, that was made. You are right, Don. He is moving like a man under duress. He's moving like a man who's really, really scared. And quite frankly, he's moving like a man that something is wrong with him. Like, what's up with him? What's up with him? What's up with how he's thinking? Why is he yelling at people? What's with those Marks on his hands. Excuse me. Find me the marks picture. I just want you to find me the pictures of the hand thing. Like, what is that about? And are we supposed to know? Like, do you worry? I wonder if there's something seriously going on with him.
I don't know. I don't know. Someone's in the chat now who's just, I'm going to put it up. Don, I work in finance. The portfolio managers are pissed. They are Trump supporters, says Jess Lee. That's what I mean. And that's what he's afraid of. So, like, what is going on with him? He is erratic. He's yelling at people. He's screaming at Zelensky in the Oval Office. He's saying there is no more room for negotiation. He has this thing on his hands that no one is, I mean, what is it? Maybe it's something small. but maybe it's something big. And it's not the first time that people have wondered what is happening with him. The stocks are falling. Your 401ks are gone in the shitter. Your investments, your retirement funds, what the hell is happening?
In the meantime, he's getting crazier and crazier and crazy or doing outlandish things. Does he realize he can't file bankrupt on the stock market? I see what you're saying, Toy B, considering how much he's filed for bankruptcy. I hate to tell you. Tell me where you're streaming from this morning and tell me what you think. Someone mentioned something in here about what's going on. Who's in? What's up? Is anybody trying to jump in, producers?
Yes? I'll jump in quickly. I was providing you an update on the NASDAQ a second ago, now for the S&P 500. It's erased everything we've gained since Election Day, months and months and months of growth.
