Trump is worse than al Qaeda

A consequence of the 9/11 attacks was that the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ were shut down for a week.

“When trading resumed that week of September 17, 2001 . . . over the following five days, the Dow Jones average decreased more than 14%, the S&P 500 tumbled 11.6% and Nasdaq fell a whopping 16%. The attacks wiped $1.4 trillion of value off the US markets. Even just the first day of trading after the attacks, the DJIA plummeted 684 points, down 7.1%. At the time, that was the largest loss for a single trading session in the whole history of the exchange.


“Trump’s crackpot tariffs have wiped $5 trillion of the value of US markets and that appears only to be the beginning.”

And it’s not just the stock market:

“Trump’s assault on civil liberties, scientific and medical research, universities, and freedom of thought and conscience are even deadlier than the economic damage he is doing. And, of course, these un-American activities will also do economic damage on a large scale.

“Trump is an agent of destruction for American society and poses a threat far more deadly than al-Qaeda ever did.

Trump is a bigger threat than al Qaeda
