Markets would soar, not crash, if Trump got impeached, says YahooFinance's rickjnewman
President Trump considers himself God’s gift to the stock market. If the House of Representatives were to impeach him, “markets would crash,” Trump tweeted on Sept. 26.
But Trump is arguably in a tougher spot than Clinton, whose offense was lying about an extramarital affair under oath. Trump appears to have subordinated national security concerns to his personal political interests and used taxpayer aid money appropriated by Congress as a kind of bribe to goad Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden. Then there appeared to be some kind of White House effort to cover it all up.
Before he was a Trump yes-man, Pence was a more traditional Republican, supportive of free trade and limited government. He probably wouldn’t abandon everything Trump stands for, but he’d probably ditch the worst of it, including: Iran. Tearing up the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran was Trump’s idea. Many Republicans would have been content to leave it in place. Trump’s new sanctions on Iran have hurt the country but have also made Iran more combative, leading to strikes on oil operations including the recent drone and missile attack on Saudi facilities. Pence could start over with Iran and find a new path forward that’s less threatening to world oil markets.
