“The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion in value. That is great news for Americans’ 401(k), retirement, pension and college savings accounts.”

That was President Trump only a week ago during his State of the Union address as he triumphantly touted the gains in the stock market since he became president.

And then, well, you know. Stocks plunged Friday, and on Monday the market continued to plummet. The Dow fell almost 1,600 points at one point before finishing down more than 1,100 points, or 4.6 percent.

Fingers, of course, are pointing.

The president’s critics have said his decision to tether his success or failure to the stock market was ludicrous.
