Everyone in the markets knows that when the President says or does something incredibly dumb, it will rattle the markets.

Contemplating sacking the fed chair because he approved the interest rate hikes is enough to rattle the markets already spooked by an ongoing correction.

But Mnuchin’s letter about liquidity? That’s enough to cause seizures by Wall Street execs, because you wouldn’t be asking about liquidity unless you were concerned about liquidity due to an event you expect to occur.

What is the event you expect to occur? Trump’s words having a negative effect, causing a mass outflow from the markets and seeking safer refuges - cash.

Trump and his fucknut advisers are rushing headlong into a financial crisis, because a recession wouldn’t be bad enough for these fuckers.

And the debt ceiling is roughly 3 months away. We’re in the midst of a shutdown that could last weeks of that, with a very unstable man at the helm who will look for any opportunity to get his vanity project funded and is totally divorced from the reality of his situation.

We’re all fucked.
