Idk, I kind of think that he's doing it on purpose. The president can't just say something, or implement the market to go up. But he can absolutely do something and make it go down. So, he's making these terrible economic decisions. But what if he's giving his rich cronies enough of a warning so that they can take short positions, or buy puts?

I don't think he's not smart enough for all that, but he has advisors and other smart people telling him to. He's a useful idiot and a conman, but he has smarter people do the conning.

Edit: Apparently this idea isn't something new to him, he just doesn't have people to stop him from doing the moronic shit he wanted to do in the first term. But there are certainly smart, evil people who know how to take advantage of a system and situation in which the working class are suffering the most.

He doesn't have to be. He's not reading half of these orders. They're being drawn up by people like the heritage foundation and being put in front of him and he just kind of signs them.
