The stock market has probably been responding to Trump replacing Yellen as the fed chairman and the replacement is in favor of a more conservative (in the more generic sense of the term) monetary policy. So the market that's been probably a bit overheated for a few years now (predating Trump, but investors jacking off at the thought of having more millions to put into the market helped keep it going) dropped with people thinking the free ride may be over.

I mean, isn’t Mueller’s entire investigation totally forfeit if he doesn’t have some authority to get people to talk to him.

Like, surely he’ll have to interview Trump at some point?

The answer is that subpoenaing a president can be a bit tricky, especially someone with the authority and temper of Donald Trump. Mueller may have deadman's switches ready to go the second Trump fires him, but if there's no need to gamble with a confrontation then why risk it. He'll probably extend an invitation to talk, which the lawyers will send Trump to Florida before turning it down, and if Trump does go to talk, it's likely to be a lot more gentle of an interview than confrontational. Basically letting Trump incriminate himself for an hour with some friendly leading questions.

I speak a few words of idiot, so let me try to translate.

Trump seems to be operating under one or two assumptions. The first is the "old days" remark, which is basically prior to his Administration, and how things used to be different/better then, at least in terms of honesty in reporting. I'm picking up some bitterness and his maligned feelings of unfair treatment by 'reporters' in keeping with his common themes.

The second assumption is frankly kind of disturbing, and is the "Big mistake," phrase. Who's mistake is that? Not his, he's talking to someone else. He seems to be indicating that he believes there are some people who control the Stock Market to a degree of totality that frankly doesn't exist. So it's disturbing that he doesn't grasp even the bare fundamentals of economics. Also he doesn't seem to notice that he's created a contradiction at the end (i.e. if there is so much good (great) news about the economy, won't that mean the Stock Market will go down?)

Read together, I think it's him bashing the media and trying to encourage the Stock Market "controllers" to not believe the media lies.

It’s kind of amazing and in a similar vein to the NPS rangers and other staff who immediately made “alt” Twitter accounts and everything. Of course Bernie was immediately all “gently caress this poo poo,” but it’s kind of sad (and hilarious) that a lot of progressive politicians took a while to start doing more than muttering angrily about Pootus while Teen Vogue and some Yellowstone staff were almost immediately going “LOOK AT THIS loving DOTARD”

This hell dimension sure is strange.

TRUMP: “Above all else, we must remember this truth, no matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our country, we love our God, and we love our flag.”

(APPLAUSE)

CROWD: USA! USA! USA!

TRUMP: And then I went on, this is my first statement, and they said, remember they said, well, he wasn’t specific enough. Why wasn’t he more specific?

So in my second statement, I got really specific, and they said, why didn’t he do it faster? The — I’m telling you folks, look, look, I know these people probably better than anybody.

And a lot of people have a problem with it, because look, what happens with them, if they’re doing a story about me, I know if it’s honest or false.

If you’re reading a story about somebody, you don’t know. You assume it’s honest, because it’s like the failing New York Times, which is like so bad. It’s so bad.

(BOOING)

[...]Or CNN, which is so bad and so pathetic, and their ratings are going down.

(BOOING)

Right?
