No. It's a result of increased interest rates. The fact that people politisize one of the worst economic indicators is the real problem.

The only advantage stock has is that it gives the news something to report on once a day.

No way an interest rate change would cause that kind of drop. This is a manipulation intended to cripple Trump and to blame him.

Interest rate increases have been in the back of the news cycle for weeks to months...Yellen just confirmed many of the fears, so the market reacted to the build up after she left today.

I have a degree in Econ so I'm aware that markets react to fears of something. I don't think this degree of a fall can all be attributed to that.
