    This is one of Trump’s biggest grifts.

    The stock market is reality and Trump’s minions have just received the most expensive reality check of their miserable lives.

      However strong is my desire for DJT to tank, the statement “stock market is reality” does not reflect the said reality. It is the definition of fantasy, where valuations are driven by nothing fundamental. Only beliefs and expectations matter, and these change daily. Say, if Trump actually manages to win the election - and there is a terrifyingly high chance for that, - this joke of a company can actually skyrocket in valuation, as someone with money can try to buy his favour. Not that it will hold high for long, of course - just saying that manipulation is a reality (see what i did?).
