I wonder who will be blamed for the Dow dropping....

Since the Dow is down almost 200 points, it *can't* be trump's fault. It's only his doing when it goes up... I wonder who he'll blame?

(I know that the president doesn't directly control the stock market, but banning a religion and having a large number of countries actively denounce the edict WILL have a big negative effect.)

But I thought you guys already made it clear the market was up recently because of the strong economy that Obama built. So now when it is down it is Trump's fault. So which is it?

The president doesn't directly affect the Dow. We've discussed that many times. However, trump tweeted that the Dow passed 20k because of him.
I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in HIS statements. He loves taking credit for anything good, but passes the buck for anything bad.

The President's policies do affect the stock market though. The fall in the market is correlated to the immigration ban and other trade issues because it negatively affects American companies.

The Dow goes up and down all the time. It was ridiculous for Trump to take claim for that just as it is ridiculous to claim he caused a drop (which I'm not saying anyone has). When the Dow drops over 2000 points then I'll be concerned. And for what it's worth, I think we are flirting with disaster having the Dow at 20,000 but that is a topic for another day.

Agree. Also, anytime you have the dow jump up, you are going to have profit takers who are selling a lot of stock to make a profit, so it will usually drop after a rise like that for a while.
I don't think any of it- up or down- can be credited to Trump at this point.
