That's... An extremely bizarre take on what happened, and on whether selling would be a good idea. The stock market almost never has anything to do with electoral politics, and electoral politics almost never have anything to do with what your market position should be.

Right-wing media often have weird takes about, well, everything. If there's something negative going on in the economy, they'll definitely blame democrats even if it makes no sense. And their solutions are just bizarre. Like they boycott products by buying them and then destroying them.
So, I think the question is is there actually evidence people are selling right now because they were told to?
I think if you're a right winger in the stock market who still has money (hasn't lost it all yet), you've proven yourself capable of at least enough double-think for your WORDS to say "the market is in shambles! The economy is trash! Biden is destroying America!" while your ACTIONS express confidence in all of the things supposedly doomed by our supposed dictator Biden.
If you think them selling low is too crazy, wait till I tell you about some of the other things they’ve done over the last 50 years.
Go on then...
Some MAGA people probably listened to Trump shrieking about the stock market on Monday and caused them to panic-sell.
Paperhanded bitches
