Trump is going to screw around trying to rig markets to advantage his positions and his desire for "line go up", and accidentally expose that they're actually already rigged and incredibly fragile (because of all the measures taken to hide that rigging).

So much of what's been done over the past 5 years-ish has been because a stock market crash would devastate the largest voting bloc at the worst possible moment; there would be no "just wait for the recovery."

Not just in terms of a general collapse, but with disproportionate impacts because of the nature of the interventions. Don't look into what's actually in those retirement funds.
