(Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)In recent weeks President Donald Trump has been at the heart of one political bombshell after another related to his campaign’s ties to Russia, but his move to fire FBI Director James Comey ratcheted up pressure on the Trump administration. With the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the issue, the Trump presidency faces its biggest crisis yet.

What Trump’s troubles mean for the stock market
– macleans.ca
(Reuters/Andrew Kelly)Donald Trump likes to say he moves markets. The past week provided concrete proof of that claim: The Donald acted, and markets fell.
Since the election, markets have largely tuned out the negative headlines about Trump and his administration. Markets generally viewed the goings on in the White House as a distraction from Trump’s promise to implement his so-called pro-growth agenda, such as tax reform.
But the news that Trump allegedly made a personal appeal to then-FBI director James Comey to drop the bureau’s investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, altered the landscape. That revelation shifted the market’s view that Trump’s agenda might not just be delayed, but completely derailed.
Given the market saw its biggest one-day decline in months before recovering somewhat, the question becomes how might markets respond if this political crisis deepens and Trump either resigns or gets impeached?
