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 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.

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.

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 म्हणाले...

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

Sally327 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

“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%.

Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...

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.

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 :-)

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!!

FullMoon म्हणाले...

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.

Nobody here believes a single thing you say. You have openly admitted you are a dishonest racist piece of shit on multiple occasions.

Please do not stop showing the world just how absurd and terrible you and the rest of the never-trumper movement is.

Inga's personal insults are partially Althouse's fault.

Lack of self awareness is a prerequisite for a Hillary voter.

Are you sure the stocks didn't tank on Tom Steyer's comments:



TOM STEYER: “I will declare a state of emergency on climate on the first day of my presidency. I will use the Executive emergency powers of the presidency to tell companies how they can generate electricity, what kind of cars they can build -- on what schedule, what kind of buildings we’re gonna have, how we are going to use our public lands."

Steyer urges "environmental justice' and warns climate is "a human issue with a huge racial overtone."

"We need to rebuild this country in a climate-smart way...we don't have a choice on this."

Given that Obama bragged about using a pen, can we believe that no matter what Democrat enters the Oval Office, they're going to do exactly the same thing?

So, if anybody believes Babylon Bee, it's partly the target's fault for making the Bee's satire so believable, right?

It's Trump's fault that Schiff was lying and defaming him, right?

Right for the Bee - it's a satire site. Wrong for Schiff, he's paid to pass laws, not jokes.
Usher is showing ... that he's a clown.
