(8,430 posts)4. Huh!  I thought it crashed because he didn't "win" the Nobel Peace Prize.
        He's got masked "brown shirts"  running around the country, kidnapping people and putting them in jail without due process, and national guard troops in major cities terrorizing the general population.
This is his idea of peace.
He's also talking about having the military "train for war" on the streets of our cities.
He thinks this has no impact on getting the peace prize.
Peace prize, NO!  POS prize, much better chance.

        He's periodically crashing the stock market on purpose to hurt the middle class & enrich the already rich.
