Your entire economic system is at the mercy of said lunatic.

As we've seen recently, the power of the POTUS is not unchecked.

We've seen recently that it can be checked. Our hope is that those that with the ability to check him continue to do so.

Trump is a symptom not the cause. Though this symptom could be highly problematic.
Dark money influencing elections = wild man at the tiller.

From the admittedly small data set of 6 tweets, it looks like the answer is "no" with one exception where the market took over an hour to react. I'm curious why the Ford lag time was so different.

Because Ford's actions had been expected/known for some time. Trump literally had nothing to do with it. You don't just spin up factories like an EC2 instance.
His other tweets regarding other companies were all future-tense, and companies he is in a position to bully. Except for Nordstrom, of course.

Hrrm... what if you COULD spin up factories like an EC2 instance.
What would be needed? A line? Programmable robots? Inputs and outputs?
Interesting idea.
My answer was maybe but I'd rather not put my money at the mercy of a lunatic.
