Roughly $11.1 trillion has been wiped away from the U.S. stock market since Jan. 17, the Friday before President Donald Trump took the oath of office and began his second term, according to data from Dow Jones Market Data.

Some $6.6 trillion of that figure was lost on Thursday and Friday alone — the largest two-day wipeout of shareholder value on record, Dow Jones data showed.

    Oh i guess that’s true. I’m not sure what my point was. I guess political/party economists? But maybe they’re not informed by actual economists.

    It seems like there is a disconnect between what I hear politicians talking about vis what the journals say

      Trump doesn’t have a team of reputable economists guiding his policies.

      He’s just making decisions based on the vibe.
