Trump is putting it to stock market investors like Bitcoin is putting it to speculators: Hard, fast and no lube. Remember this?
Here are some of Trump's tweets about the stock market since he won the 2016 election:
Dec. 26, 2016: Trump's first attempt to take credit for stock market gains came within two months of his election. The then-president elect said the world was "gloomy" and had "no hope" before he got elected president.
"Now, the market is up nearly 10%," he wrote.

Feb. 16, 2017: In his first tweeted mention of stocks since his inauguration, the president trumpeted a "new high" for the market and a "great level of confidence and optimism" ? "even before" the GOP passed its tax plan into law last year.
Jan. 5: Early this year, Trump claimed that a rapid rise in the Dow is "all about the Make America Great Again agenda!"
