Jim Cramer in a recent program on CNBC expressed surprise that the Republican administration could be this damaging to shareholders

“These are hideous depressing days for the bulls. I’m not used to seeing a White House that doesn’t seem to care that it’s causing the decline. It’s dazzlingly counterintuitive to see a Republican in particular be so callous toward the shareholder class. After all historically that constituency has been very pro-Republican. It’s a total blast zone out there and ground zero is tech.”

Cramer said that the tech selloff forced him to revisit his age-old mantra of “own it, don’t trade it” regarding two major technology stocks.
