33% : That market turbulence left Trump hungry to strike a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a high-stakes meeting in Argentina, sources told CNN at the time.
28% : When markets failed to rebound, Trump expressed anxiety about plunging stocks and even worried the losses could damage him politically.
14% : " In other words, Trump did not pick the Matt Gaetz or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., of Wall Street to run Treasury.
3% : Investors could also react very negatively if Trump made a move to push out Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with whom Trump has had a complicated and, at times, contentious relationship.
