Riddle me this: If "the money" tells Trump to shut up, will he?

Smarter people than me are saying that while not all of the drop in the market is Trump's fault, the fact we have an unstable government could well be a factor.

If the market continues to fall, rich people and CEOs will put pressure on Trump to stop his shit. Will that reign him in?

I've always thought they'd cut him loose after they got their tax cut.
