The general economy, or more specifically the stock market, after a leader makes a really stupid decision or announcement after which there is a steep drop just due to perception of the change.
My 401(k) balance looked great for retirement until the Trump market after the president said he would add tariffs to all other countries for everything, even though that was an obviously horrible idea based on the market response and his own waffling later on the decision.
