Trump was quick to take credit for the stock market's climb in early 2018. Will he own the drops too? Short Answer: NO! Now that the DJIA has wiped out all the gains of 2018, thanks in no small part to Trump's silly sabre rattling about a trade war, Donald J Trump has avoided the subject like the plague. Does this man take responsibility for anything at all??

He’ll just blame it on the House Democrats.

He already did.

Reality is that this is the predicted response to the trade wars started by Trump.

A correction was overdue. It is premature to blame Trump's policies. If it is the start of a bear market that will be different. Is that what you are hoping for?

Well to be fair, one or both could be to blame, or one or both could have nothing to do with specific actions. To carpet blame isn't wise.
