Absolutely wild to look at this graph and say 'welp that's the correction we've expected and needed for a long time' when it is quite clear it's a reaction to Trump's totally unnecessary trade war and the uncertainty he is (intentionally?) injecting into markets. There is no reason to expect that if there had been a different President elected, this outcome would have occurred.
The even broader point is that there are a lot of people invested (literally and emotionally) in a continuing bull run. That doesn't mean it's a good idea, but suggesting that Trump or even less likely, DOGE have some master understanding of the economy and are doing this for its long-term health is an absolute fantasy.
