    46460 right now…

    We were on the path to 45, but Trump announcing his big announcement of yesterday temporarily threw the index off-path. We are back since the actual announcement, though.

      Unironically, I think this is what did her in. Not the line itself, but the fact that the DOW went back below 50k soon after. He doesn’t really have much reason to fire her. I mean, she’s an idiot and evil, but so is he, and that’s kinda exactly the kind of person Trump wants on his team. Everyone Trump fires seems to make the following mistakes:

      1. They take too much spotlight from him
      2. They get caught making a quote that goes viral
      3. They get unlucky with their news presence for several weeks in a row

      They never do something so bad that it can’t be recovered from, Trump’s certainly had worse moments in the news, but if you stay down for long enough, you’ll get the chopping block. Ultimately, it’s just kinda random bad luck that decides who stays and goes.
