But not only have the Markets fallen, but the US Dollar has lost 10% of
its value vs other currencies which unequivocally is the "Economy".
>>> Only idiots freak out and sell.
Actually, it depends on a lot of factors, such as one's sequence of
returns risks. Naturally, it is better to avoid selling on the drop,
but situations may merit even doing that.
In any event, the recent recovery has resulted in an interim period
where one may choose to sell to limit losses by selling equities in
anticipation of a much larger drop this summer, when the tariffs result
in material shortages and further US GDP contraction (yesterday's 1Q25
report came in at -0.3%, vs +0.3% expected).

Trump has often equated the two even if he's never pedantically made the
exact quote you're trying to demand with your goalpost stretch move.
For example:
Jan 31, 2018 â "The great news for Americans â 401(k) retirement pension
and college savings accounts have gone through the roof," Trump said
<https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/31/trump-cites-401k-gains-in-speech-yet-most-workers-dont-have-one.html>
âThere will be NO change to your 401(k). This has always been a great
and popular middle class tax break that works, and it stays!â Trump said
<https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/23/trump-says-there-will-be-no-change-to-401k-plans.html>
âIf for some reason I wouldnât have won the [2016] election, these
markets would have crashed. Thatâll happen even more so in 2020,â Trump
said. âSee, the bottom line is⦠You have no choice but to vote for me
because your 401k, everything is going to be down the tubes. So whether
you love me or hate me, youâve got to vote for me.â
<https://401kspecialistmag.com/trump-on-401ks-vote-for-me-or-its-down-the-tubes/>
"Your 401(k) will drop down to nothing, and the stock market will drop
down to nothing."

And so on.
Trump has often equated the two even if he's never pedantically made the
exact quote you're trying to demand with your goalpost stretch move.
