You trying to claim that the economy isn’t booming right now is fricking laughable.
It's not. The economy couldn't handle modestly higher rates a d they had to cut and are expected to cut them again.
The economy is relatively strong, compared to the last decade, but it's not booming. A booming economy can handle 2.5% FFR.

I was long puts during the flash crash, but the market makers wouldn't raise the bids.

Lots of people liking this market. Looks like profit making in 18 and 19 to me.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pointed to the stock market as one of the best ways to measure his administration’s policies. During Trump’s presidency, the S&P 500 has gained 25% from inauguration day through August 14. How does that stack up to stock performance at the same point in other modern presidencies? (646 trading days, to be exact). Stocks were stronger under Barack Obama and far weaker under George W. Bush. S&P 500 performance under Trump compares more closely to stocks under Bill Clinton (they were up 29% at this point in his presidency) or stocks under Ronald Reagan (they were up 21% at this point in his first term).

So he'll react like a politician?

It’s called “buying opportunities”

Que? S&P is effectively flat over the last 12 months, sans dividends. Not exactly a profit taking scenario of late.

I do love all the tooting about the "highest stock market ever" and taking credit for it.
I'm going to go on record now with a CRAZY prediction. The stock market will hit an all time high in the next presidential term, EVEN IF ITS NOT TRUMP. WHAT?!
Yeah, the stock market goes up over the long term. It's done it under every president of the last 30 years.

Market isn’t even in correction territory yet. I’m hoping for a bigger drop for opportunity because with Trump the next 5 years, the Dow will soar past 30k!(especially once he gets China to agree with policy)

Today's declines are more because of overseas economies(China, Germany) being down, but yes please find a way to blame Trump for this
To extrapolate on how wrong this is, Trump himself blamed the Fed today. Not China nor Germany. In fact, he said Germany is doing it right.

Financials and energy lead the decline today. Ain't much in the way of profit taking to be had in those sectors, but carry on.

The best predictor of incumbency success in Presidential re-elections is economic performance in the first quarter of the election year.
Translation: Trump will lose if the economy is tanking in early 2020.

Now do biggest daily point gains.
6/10 have happened since Trump took office.
What does this prove?
You bathe in jizz.
