Normal Republicans have been putting up with Trump because stuff they wanted was getting done, including a skyrocketing stock market. But anyone with half a brain knew that the stock market was going to take a serious dive and for the last several days, that's what is happening. Today was the biggest single day drop in years. The dollar is dropping, inflation is rising, the market is in turmoil--I am just waiting for some Obama finger pointing in the next few days.
James Fallows has a good article in The Atlantic about what to call the Trump effect. Oddly, I am not crazy about Fallows though I know he is a well respected writer with global experience. What I remember about him is that he tried to evade the draft during the Viet Nam war by becoming anorexic and losing weight dramatically. We always saw him running along Storrow Drive in Cambridge at all hours of the day and night. I don't know if he ever made the under weight but he certainly qualified as certifiably obsessive.
