Trump's breaking point could come soon, analyst tells BI

[Dulcinea]

(Business Insider) -snip-Trump's unflinching pursuit of his protectionist agenda has come at a cost: The S&P 500 officially entered a correction on Thursday, down 10% from its February peak.

So far, Trump's team has shown that they're willing to tolerate stock market pain — but at some point, that pain may become unbearable.

Marko Papic, the chief strategist at BCA Research, thinks Trump might not be far away from his breaking point. He said a 15% to 20% decline in the S&P 500 could force the president to start walking back his trade war.

Economist Desmond Lachman, meanwhile, says the issue is less about a specific drop and more about how quickly and severely the sell-off unfolds: "What's occurred over the last couple of weeks, if that continues at this kind of pace, he'll have to cave."

2. If Trump's real purpose is to destroy the US from within, he will not cave.

Trump may be following Putin’s orders.

5. Dumb rich people

for backing this Trump idiot to save millions in taxes, only to lose billions in lost equity and business opportunity. They should be demanding Joe Biden back with his vibrant economy. What numbskulls.

6. Yeah but with stocks down it's buying season for them

Returning wealth to it’s rightful owners as the saying goes.

7. He's already walking them back. He'll keep with it because

he (ego) is completely unable to be wrong. His minions can be told night is day and they’ll buy it. I see it everyday on Twitter no matter what happens.

8. I was hoping it meant that this insane POTUS would have an actual breakdown
