More seriously: I don't think the Stock Market will sell shit off to own Trump. Warren/Sanders would hurt for the short-term, but you know the market: They'll find a way to weasel around Warrens shit (probably less so Sanders if he's able to get shit done) and it'll be back to "business as usual."
I think its different this time.
In the past, the line was "the president cant do anything to affect the economy, theyre just on for the ride"
With Trump its different. Because of his ego, he is invested in the DOW number every day.
Which means he will go to any length to prop it up, and his goons will do whatever he says.
So the current over-hyped valuation is simly investors getting "free" money. Theres zero risk because if a bubble pops, Trump will move mountains to bail companies out so his DOW numbers keep going up.
That ends with Sanders/Warren. They will actually revel in the market going down because its proof that the donor class are scared.
And say we get a 2008? They won't pull an Obama and bail everyone out. If Bernie was president in 2008, GM and Chevy would have been nationalized at bargain basement prices. We'd have a Bank of Bernie instead of crooks like BoA.
The economy is also an emotional thing based on fuck all.
If people feel the economy is doing good, they are more confident to purchase stuff and thus the economy will do better.
Trump is the personification of the US economy. Bloated, unpredictable and taking huge risks.
Next to that Wall Street knows that with Trump in power, no one has to worry about regulation.
He might go after his personal enemies from time to time but you will never see Trump implement a bank tax.
The White House is pretty much run like the Wolf of Wall Street's Stratton Oakmant. And Trump is one of the figures that inspired the character of Gordon Gecko.
However, Trump also keeps out a lot of the monsters. When Obama was President his Presidency quickly stopped being news and people focused on what happened abroad.
As of now the news media is solely focused on Trump. It's Trump every day, all day. All geopolitics, arms races and terror attacks are sucked into the media monster called Trump.
A terrorist attack used to scare people for months. Now it won't even hit the headlines unless Trump tweets about it. If Trump hadn't pulled the troops from Syria, the Turkish invasion wouldn't even be on the radar.
When Trump's Presidency ends it'll be a wake up call for America and its news media. The problems won't go away with Trump, people are still OD'ing in the streets and the national debt hasn't been paid off.
Warren/Sanders would have the same struggle with the Democratic Party that Obama had trying to reform healthcare and such and that doesn't even include the Republicans.
Foreign policy would be an outright mess because all deals Trump made in person (soldiers on the Mexican borders for example) would be immediately reversed.
When Trump is gone, the show ends and suddenly everything is not awesome.
Also the "transition of power" would be everyone in positions of power bailing out trying to get cozy jobs back at the Trump org or Fox News.
The only thing left in the Oval Office would be "KEEP AMERICA GREAT, POCAHONTAS! <3 TRUMP" written on the walls.
Departments would be vacated, looted and shuttered on impeachment/election night.
