Try comparing that graph to the overall market. Wall Street hates uncertainty and the market as a whole always sees a rebound when the results are in. The equilibrium is -after- the result, not before.

They’ve started using the term “fake news” to mean any information they dislike. They took a phrase that attempted to explain that their information may not be trustworthy and turned it into a way to avoid trustworthy information.

Conservative sites are going crazy right now because he believes in automation and outsourcing. They’re not mentioning the “being an awful human being” thing at all.

We’ve been too bordering-on-not-being-total-assholes for too long, apparently.
