February 25, 2020

Fake news from 2015, circulated and debunked in 2018, is making the rounds on social media once again.

Are you seeing this thing?



The violent imagery is causing some tingles among Trump haters, but it's fake news. If you see it, it's very easy to drop this link to Snopes.
On 5 February 2018, Shaun Usher, the owner of the blog “Letters of Note” posted an image on Twitter that purported to show Donald Trump opining that any president presiding over the United States during a stock market crash of more than 1,000 points should be “shot out of a cannon.”... Apparently quickly remorseful for the rapid spread of the inauthentic tweet, Usher tried to backtrack....
Usher tweeted:  "Sweet mother of god. Not for one second did I think people would believe that to be genuine"/"omg it’s everywhere. What have I done"/"siri can i be arrested for making a fake tweet."

And Usher told Snopes he'd faked it. And: "Naively thought it too ridiculous to be believable. Says a lot, really. Was going to delete it but it was everywhere within minutes: feels like I need to leave it up in its place of birth."

Now, that is partly Trump's responsibility. He's tweeted wildly enough that it's made people credulous about any assertion of what he might have said, especially if you don't get his style of humor.

You never know what Trump might say.

Pretty soon he’ll be calling white nationalists “fine people”.

Our media is more interested in what Trump didn’t say than what Biden, Warren, and Sanders did.

Fernandinande said...

At least he didn't say shot into Uranus.

rhhardin said...

You have to index 1000 for the value of the market as it rises, so it's a constant percentage. 1000 points would have been a big deal in the 70s when it was at 700.

Aside from its being faked as from Trump.

Anyone who believes Trump would tweet “Dow Joans” is a moron.

The idea that Trump is partly responsible for morons: false.

Why haven’t they arrested him for stock fraud yet when he said yesterday that the markets looked like a good time to buy?

Comey threw Martha Stewart in prison for claiming she was innocent “securities fraud” while never actually proving that she was guilty.

gilbar said...

This is only the third instance in which it fell by so many points but it was the 229th largest percentage drop since 1900, according to Compound Capital Advisors—the sort of event that happens twice a year on average. WSJ

tim in vermont said...

The specter of President Sanders has entered the building.

People with money turned white and shit their pants when they saw that he is pretty much a mortal lock for the nomination.

tim in vermont said...

"Now, that is partly Trump's responsibility. “

"He left himself open for it” might be a better way to phrase it. But he didn’t create a left full of people who simply run with whatever they feel despite overwhelming evidence. Like "Russian collueion"

paminwi said...

YEAH! to Jeff Brokaw comment at 7:10am.

Things that Trump had nothing to do with are now his fault.
What a dumb world we live in.
And educated bloggers make these comments.

tim in vermont said...

I blame Kos and his popularizatino of "winnerism". It’s fun to pretend to believe stuff and is an effective political technique. They all pretend to believe CBF over Kavanaugh, and after a while, they are not even sure they are pretending.

Automatic_Wing said...

As George Costanza said, it's not a lie if you believe it.

Jeff Brokaw said...

“He's tweeted wildly enough that it's made people credulous about any assertion of what he might have said”

Not really. The things Trump tweets, while they offend the tender sensibilities of the nobility, and exaggerate the facts, get into juvenile name-calling, are generally (“directionally”) true and accurate. He just doesn’t sugar coat it, and some powerful perpetually butt-hurt people just don’t want to hear it.

This specific tweet about the president being accountable for a single day’s market movement is stupid on its face — it requires one to buy the idea that Trump doesn’t understand market volatility?! Not even remotely plausible.

RNB said...

"[T]hat is partly Trump's responsibility." Besides, look at the way he was dressed. He was just asking for it.

Jeff Brokaw said...

Gilbar @ 7:14

Exactly.

A 1000 point drop when the Dow was at 4-5000 back in the 80s-90s was 20%.

With the Dow at 28-29000 these days, an equivalent 20% drop would be nearly 6000 points.

1000 points (today) in one day is just market volatility.

tim maguire said...

It's always Trump's fault. Like when Joe Rogan blamed Trump for Antifa violence.

It's can't be that people are blinded by Trump hatred and will believe anything if it's negative about Trump. No, that can't be it.

Sally327 said...

Trump has tweeted "wildly"? Is that really true? Maybe it depends on what is meant by that word.

Where Obama was not normal because he was extraordinary, Trump is not normal because he's weird...and, I guess, wild as well. Donald Trump, the crazy, weird wild man. He doesn't just bring the light, he is the light. Go to the light, all are welcome.

Jeff Brokaw said...

“back in the 80s-90s”

My numbers for where the Dow was back then are probably wrong (I was just typing and not researching) but the point holds: in the past, 1000 points up or down meant something, today it means about 3.5%.

MartyH said...

Trump’s to blame for the fake news about him watching the gorilla channel too.

The real tragedy of this thread are the people defending what was made clear Trump didn't say.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Jeff Brokaw @7:31 is correct. This is just normal fluctuation in a turbulent environment with the Corona Virus kicking China's economy in the ass and every company that does business with them being affected. (Apple for instance)

Focusing on the Dow Jones Industrial and the number of points that it goes up or down in a day is a foolish and stupid way to judge the market. First of all the Dow Jones is only 30 companies. 30.

The Dow Jones Composite index is much broader. Dow Industrial Index. Dow Transportation. Dow Utility Index. 65 companies. The NASDAQ is more tech heavy with companies in those arenas. Then there is the S&P 500. among a few indexes to watch.

Points don't mean anything unless you present them as a percentage of the whole. A drop of 1000 points is huge. It is even HUGER A 500 point swing in one day of a 10000 point index versus 500 points of a 30000 index. Big difference. Yet the media breathlessly screams anything the market swings 300 points. Use percentages dummies.

So the market fell 4&. Big deal. Not time to sell out...and not time to buy big into the indexes just yet. Some selected companies. Yes. Maybe. Capital gains can be a consideration if you have a 200% increase as some do.

Plus the Dow are WEIGHTED Indexes which means that just one company that is taking a big hit or gain...can swing the index all on its own. Apple, which right now is projecting losses because of China/Corona virus is swinging the market. Apple is doing bad. Other companies are doing great.

Calm down people.

There was a tech crash in 1986 but I wasn’t working in the industry and didn’t own stock then. Then 1987. Then 2000 and then 2008.

There are still buys in this.

The Asian American Alliance of Whiny Backstabbing Little Wimps at the University at Albany issued a statement on Instagram on Monday demanding an apology because a member of an "illegal group" of students said "Corona virus isn't gonna stop anyone from partying" while wearing a surgical mask and holding a Corona beer.

When they want to invest in a risky stock that Eddie found, he talks them into buying into the local power company. The boys are disappointed to see their stock doing nothing while the risky one goes through the roof.

Chuck said...

I see perhaps a half-dozen comments here, criticizing “the media” for this.

Wut?

What news media outlets reported this as fact? Althouse certainly didn’t say. It seems clear enough to me that Althouse’s post effectively made the point that the phony story circulated as a Tweet. Not as an edited news story. And yet the Trump fans use this occasion to attack “the media.” The SOCIAL media?!?

Funny also; I’ve linked to a number of Snopes myth-busting stories in my comments here in the past. Invariably, there is a reaction that Snopes has a leftward tilt and is not trustworthy. I guess you must do it better than me, Althouse.

I know! I was working at a financial institution as a loan officer, and it had a brokerage affiliated. (Pre the 1999 law that allowed banks and financial institutions to share information and have their own brokerages.) The reps from that firm were shaken to the core.

Prior to that I was solely insurance licensed and sold insurance with other bank products. After 1999, I was fully licensed until retirement.

One of my main lines (until the institution decided to push annuities) was extra life insurance as collateral, usually a supplement to other collateral, to the commercial/agricultural loans that I was making. Much easier (IF the borrower was qualified) to have life policy with a collateral hold than filing UCCs on cattle and crop projections, manufacturing, or logging equipment. Plus...when the loan was over, the borrower usually just kept the extra insurance. Often it was the ONLY insurance that they had.

You could NOT make the loan predicated on life insurance, but most clients saw the benefit. If they died....the wife or survivors would still have the assets to continue on with the business if they wanted or sell the former collateral. Fortunately, I never had to collect on either type of collateral. I made GOOD loans :-)

Kai Akker That is an unlikely proposition, DBQ. If the King is suffering, most of the courtiers will also be feeling it.

Apple (for instance) manufactures a discretionary product and is dependent on foreign supplies,cheap labor in china and other places. Nike, Cruise ship lines are really taking a hit. (Probably temporary) Companies that are producing energy, food and other non discretionary products, and are located IN the US are most likely to be safer to hold or may even experience gains in stocks as their production will not be as affected.

It is a world wide affect for most companies. Again. Probably temporary. (my magic eight ball which I used to have on my desk is bit dusty right now)

Nevertheless. Stay calm, carry on. Eat pancakes!!

It's just a pure psychopathic obsession with me, and as clear a violation as there is, of Althouse's admonition to her commenters to not post personal attacks that are unrelated to the subject of the blog post.

FullMoon said...

Just a reminder as the Democrat and Communists line up to lie about how much they care about minorities tonight:

" 1870

February 25

First African American congressman sworn in

Hiram Rhodes Revels, a Republican from Natchez, Mississippi, is sworn into the U.S. Senate, becoming the first African American ever to sit in Congress.

During the Civil War, Revels, a college-educated minister, helped form African American army regiments for the Union cause, started a school for freed men, and served as a chaplain for the Union army. Posted to Mississippi, Revels remained in the former Confederate state after the war and entered into Reconstruction-era Southern politics.

In 1867, the first Reconstruction Act was passed by a Republican-dominated U.S. Congress, dividing the South into five military districts and granting suffrage to all male citizens, regardless of race. A politically mobilized African American community joined with white allies in the Southern states to elect the Republican party to power, which in turn brought about radical changes across the South. By 1870, all the former Confederate states had been readmitted to the Union, and most were controlled by the Republican Party, thanks in large part to the support of African American voters.

On January 20, 1870, Hiram R. Revels was elected by the Mississippi legislature to fill the Senate seat once held by Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy. On February 25, two days after Mississippi was granted representation in Congress for the first time since it seceded in 1861, Revels was sworn in.

Although African Americans Republicans never obtained political office in proportion to their overwhelming electoral majority, Revels and some 15 other African American men served in Congress during Reconstruction, more than 600 served in state legislatures, and hundreds of African Americans held local offices.
