Wall Streeters Freak Out As Republican Policies Tank Economy

Executives on Wall Street are starting to have buyer’s remorse with the Republican Party, specifically President Trump, due to the fact that the President’s policies and his spineless followers in Congress are sending the stock market into a tail spin. As Trump escalates his war with Jeff Bezos and Amazon and his trade wars send tariffs soaring, Wall Street is losing value at a staggering pace. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this...https://trofire.com/2018/04/03/wall-streeters-freak-out-as-republican-policies-tank-economy/.

But if Trump screws over Wall Street they will fuck him over ten-fold

Obama received more support from Wall Street in 2008 than McCain did. They were pretty sick of Republican economics at that point.

Pure oxymoron. The "Party of Business" is, more accurately the "24/7 USE ANYONE ELSE'S MONEY & Party like it's nobody's Business.

Silly Wall Street. Just look at the data. You've never had it so good than with Democrats running the show. Republicans just fuck it all up. Again and again. Republicans don't know how to grow a thing except conspiracies, bankruptcies and their own personal profit at the expense of everyone and the nation.
