Trump just tweeted a few minutes ago about the big stock market drop that happened two days ago, suggesting it happened because of ‘good news’:
In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!

As I’ve told you before I don’t know very much about the stock market, but even so this sounds strange to me.
It also sounds strange to a few on Twitter as well:

I’m not very stock market savvy but I sense this is completely wrong and the stock market is generally like a fickle child. https://t.co/BpfJZjc2VG

Yeah I’m not exactly sure what Trump is thinking on this one but I’m sure the White House will flip over backwards trying to explain it.
