In the volatile theater of financial markets, Donald Trump attempted to transform a single day's stock decline into a defining political indictment of Kamala Harris — only to find the market's swift rebound rendering his attack hollow before the week was out. The episode illuminates a recurring temptation in democratic politics: to claim dominion over forces that answer to no one's ambition. Markets, like tides, do not hold their position long enough to serve as reliable political monuments.
