The bets against Donald J. Trump don't need any explanation. How this will affect the markets depends if this bets going to become "mainstream". If ever this might occur the majority of investors are going to sell U.S. Stockmarkets. The question is: What will happen with all those bets after "Trump is solved out". The quoted facts telling traders, that it needs only 24 hours to collect 5 billion US-Dollar to bet on "Trump short". This facts should make Traders be carefull about estimated downside potential.

Donald J. Trump can stay in office, could be impeached or resign. If ever he is forced to resign than all this bets are going to lift the Dow up to 1.000 points at once. This is the shortsellers risk and this risk are discussed no where. Time to do it.

Quote:

The hedge-fund manager has raised some $5 billion in recent weeks, according to Reuters, that he says will be put to work when investor confidence finally gets brought to its knees. He raised the sum in about 24 hours, the report indicated.

Skeptics of Wall Street’s recent rally, which has been borne on the hope of pro-growth promises from Trump coming to into full view sooner than later, predict that an inevitable failure of the president to make good on his policy promises could jolt markets violently lower.

Singer is among those fearing that very scenario. He is betting that an economic recession may be on the horizon and believes that, with interest rates already near ultralow levels, the Federal Reserve won’t be able to provide a sufficient quantitative-easing cushion, as it did during the 2008-’09 financial crisis.

‘Holy Hell To Pay’: Graham Warns Trump on Firing Sessions

Quote: "A prominent Republican senator warned President Donald Trump Thursday “there will be holy hell to pay” if he fires Attorney General Jeff Sessions and dared the commander-in-chief to “accept the consequences” if he made such a move.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of the many GOP lawmakers furious over Trump’s escalating attacks on Sessions, let the president know in no uncertain terms that cutting the former Alabama senator loose from his Cabinet would be met with repercussions.

"There will be no confirmation hearing for a new attorney general in 2017. If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay," said Graham, who has been critical of Trump."

GEOPOLITICS, TRUMP APPROVAL RATES:
Trump setting records for low presidential approval

Plunging into undesirably uncharted territory, Trump is setting records with his dismally low approval ratings

At 34 percent, his current approval rating is worse than former President Barack Obama's ever was

QUOTE: "Trump has defied the trends before. But if history is a guide, his numbers don't bode well. Low approval ratings hamper a president's ability to push an agenda through Congress and make it more likely the president's party will lose seats in Congress in the midterm elections."

Remark: Traders should remind the "lock up periode" for stock repurchase programs to start in 3-4 weeks from now. Stock buy backs may prevent right now US stockmarkets from more selling pressure. This is going to change within days by end of september if investors might continue to pull money out of US stockmarkets.

"Trump to tout tax reform in Missouri, won't offer specifics
.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will turn his signature populist rhetoric toward tax reform on Wednesday in a speech expected to tout tax cuts as a way to help workers and the middle class in an economy "rigged" against them, senior White House officials said.
With his domestic policy agenda stalled amid Republican infighting and his approval rating at just 35 percent, Trump will make his first presidential speech specifically on tax reform, one of his key 2016 campaign promises."
