Nothing obvious about that at all. Those libs on Wall Street hate Trump and making America great again. They want to keep the little guy down. It's their fault.

Not only is it dumb, it is highly unethical for president to publicly cheer the market (not mention participate in juicing it )

Then again, what is ethics any more?

His reaction is stupid, of course.
