start ignoring all things tRUMP has touched, that have any stats or such that supposedly measure Economic Activity.

This will lead to less consumer confidence and more investor confusion as to whether to invest in the Economy or not. Investment will go down. Key measurement indicators will go down (or up depending upon the matrix that they are measuring).

The markets are still stubbornly high, but I kind of think that even this will turn around and go down. There are already signs of the tRUMP depression / recession hitting areas of the Economy already and we'll start seeing more and more indicators of this slowdown despite tRUMP and cronies efforts to hide them. Won't work as indicators often work in tandem w/ many other related indicators.

As for investors on DU, take some money/gains off the table, start saving for a rainy day, might get a golden opportunity to further invest in this already sky-high stock market, soon to be depressed even more real estate markets.
