Orange Meanie: Unprecedented success for our Country, in so many ways, since the Election. Record Stock Market! Toad: The Dow Jones dropped a record 1175 points Monday after dropping 666 points last Friday. Toad: You're very quiet.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Far be it from me to blame the President for the state of the economy at any one time. Certainly the executive branch has its responsibilities; failure to regulate market players, for example. But broadly speaking, the President isn't personally responsible for the stock market.

Trump, however, has been all too thrilled to take credit for the "booming" economy. (Never mind that most non-wealthy Americans aren't seeing it.) So when the stock market dropped like a stone on Friday and then Monday, you'd expect Trump to tweet out some red-faced apologies about having screwed up.

Ha ha ha, that was a joke! Of course he's tweeted nothing about the market. And Sarah Huckleberry Tax-Suckler Sanders stated, "The president’s focus is on our long-term economic fundamentals". Uh huh.
