Donald Trump surprised the world by winning the 2016 US presidential election, establishing a mystique as someone who can break rules, violate norms, take crazy risks and still win.
The mystique disappeared.
Since 2018, Trump has suffered a series of losses that should bury the idea that Trump somehow defies gravity in politics and business. The last confrontation is his conviction in a criminal trial in New York City on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to Stormy Daniels’ notorious hush money payment just before the 2016 election. A jury found that a series of checks signed by Trump to cover the payment were falsely labeled as legal expenses on your company’s books, which amounts to criminal offenses.
Trump could face prison time if his appeal fails to overturn the verdict, but it appears more likely that he will be released on parole. But prison time is still a possibility in three other criminal trials where Trump faces more than 50 additional criminal charges. He also faces astronomical legal bills.
Trump will score a much-needed victory in July, when the Republican Party is expected to make him its official candidate in the 2024 presidential race. But his growing record as a serial loser should worry his supporters. Here are seven other prominent examples:
The 2018 midterm elections. Voter disgust with Trump in the second year of his presidency helped Democrats win 40 seats and win back the House of Representatives of Trump’s Republican Party. While it is normal for the president’s party to lose ground in midterm elections, exit polls in 2018 revealed unusually high levels of opposition to Trump, which fueled record attendance. Control of the House allowed Democrats to block Trump’s legislative agenda during the last two years of his presidency.
The 2020 presidential elections. Trump was the first incumbent to lose a re-election bid since George HW Bush in 1992.
The 2020 Senate race. Control of the Senate in the 2020 elections came down to two runoff races in Georgia, which were only concluded in early January 2021. Two Democratic challengers ended up defeating two Republican incumbents, an unlikely Hollywood ending for the Democrats who gave them gave a one-vote majority and control of both houses of Congress. Many analysts, including Republicans, have blamed Trump’s election denialism and his fights with other Republicans for the Georgia Senate defeats. These two Senate seats allowed Democrats to pass a massive stimulus bill in 2021 and a huge set of green energy incentives in 2022 that never would have happened if Republicans had maintained control of the Senate.
The story continues

The 2022 midterm exams. Trump has endorsed several Republicans in 2022, including many incumbents with no chance of losing. In competitive racing, however, most of Trump’s picks lostIncluding Senate candidates Herschel Walker in Georgia, Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and Blake Masters in Arizona, allowing Democrats to keep the Senate. Republicans won control of the House, but barely, with Democrats outperforming. Once again, exit polls showed that Trump’s involvement hurt Republicans.
Trump Organization fraud case. In December 2022, a New York jury condemned Trump’s real estate agency on 17 counts of tax fraud and other crimes. It’s the same case in which former CFO Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to tax crimes. A judge fined the company $1.6 million, the maximum allowed. Prosecutors did not charge Trump personally.

E. Jean Carroll Lawsuits. Last year, a federal jury concluded that Trump sexually abused and defamed the New York writer, ordering him to pay him $5 million. Trump continued to publicly criticize Carroll, and in January, another jury ordered Trump to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million. Trump continued to attack Carroll, raising the possibility that she could come back for even more.
New York State Fraud Prosecution. Last September, a judge found that Trump, his company and several executives defrauded banks and insurance companies by substantially and repeatedly overstating the value of certain properties. On February 17, the same judge hit Trump with $355 million in fines, plus interest that brought the total to more than $450 million.
Trump famously said in 2016 that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in New York and will not suffer consequences. He and his supporters should reevaluate. Over the past few years, Trump has repeatedly suffered consequences for cheating, intimidating, lying and overestimating his capabilities. The stakes are about to get even higher.
Next up is a federal trial over Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riots, the riots at the U.S. Capitol and another over his misuse of classified documents after he left the White House. Then there is the Fulton County, Georgia trial for voter fraud. Those likely won’t begin until after this year’s election, and Trump could withdraw both federal cases if he becomes president again.
Trump appears to be winning points with his supporters by complaining to judges and prosecutors and proclaiming himself a political martyr, but he is losing cases on facts and elections due to bad politics. Some analysts speculate that Trump’s legal catastrophes could force him to declare personal bankruptcy.
As for the 2024 election, Trump is once again defying the odds by being the only presidential candidate from a major political party to be a convicted felon. But Trump is no longer the destroyer of the system he claimed to be in 2016. The system he wants to destroy is reacting and racking up a considerable series of victories.

Trump shooting: Gold could hit record high, dollar and cryptocurrencies set to jump

Police cars outside the residence of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected shooter at a Trump rally on Saturday, investigate the area in Pennsylvania. Following the incident, one rally attendee was killed, two rally attendees are in critical condition and Donald Trump suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound.

Investors will initially favor traditional safe-haven assets and may lean toward trades more closely tied to former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning the White House after he survived an assassination attempt, according to market watchers.
“There will undoubtedly be some protectionist or safe-haven flows into Asia early this morning,” said Nick Twidale, chief market analyst at ATFX Global Markets. “I suspect gold could test all-time highs, we’ll see the yen being bought and the dollar, and flows into Treasuries as well.”
Early market commentary suggested Trump’s shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday could also prompt traders to increase his likelihood of success in the November election. His support for looser fiscal policy and higher tariffs is generally seen as likely to benefit the dollar and weaken Treasuries.
An indicator of market sentiment heading into the weekend: Bitcoin surged above $60,000, likely reflecting Trump’s pro-crypto stance.
Other assets positively linked to the so-called Trump trade include stocks of energy companies, private prisons, credit card companies and health insurers.
Traders will also be closely watching market measures of expected volatility on Monday, such as those in the tariff-sensitive Chinese yuan and Mexican peso, which have begun to price in the U.S. vote.
Trump said he was shot in the right ear after a shooting at his rally. His campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after the incident, which prompted him to rush off the stage.
“Currencies will be the first major market on Monday in Asia to react to the weekend’s shots. There’s potential for extra volatility, and getting a clear reading could be especially difficult because liquidity will be hurt by Japan’s national holiday,” said Garfield Reynolds, Asia team leader for Bloomberg Markets Live.
Strategists had already expected a volatile run-up to the election, particularly as Democrats are still agonizing over President Joe Biden’s candidacy after his poor performance in last month’s debate raised questions about his age. Investors were also grappling with the possibility that the election could end in a drawn-out dispute or political violence.
But there is little precedent for events like those in Pennsylvania. When President Ronald Reagan was shot four decades ago, the stock market plunged before closing early. The next day, March 31, 1981, the S&P 500 rose more than 1% and benchmark 10-year Treasury yields fell 9 basis points to 13.13%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Bond investors should pay particular attention as the attack is likely to boost Trump’s election chances and ultimately lead to concerns about the fiscal outlook, according to Marko Papic, chief strategist at California-based BCA Research Inc.
“The bond market must at some point become aware of President Trump’s greater chances of winning the White House than any of his rivals,” Papic wrote. “And I continue to believe that as his chances increase, so too must the likelihood of a bond market revolt.”
Kyle Rodda, senior financial markets analyst at Capital.com, said he was seeing client flows into Bitcoin and gold following the shooting.
“This news marks a turning point in American policy norms,” he said. “For markets, it means safe-haven trades, but more tilted toward non-traditional safe-havens.”

Jio Financial share price: Should you buy this Reliance group stock on Monday ahead of Q1 FY2024 results?
Q1 2024 Results: Jio Financial Share Price will be in focus on Monday as the Reliance Group company has a fixed board meeting on July 15, 2024 to consider and approve the company’s unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results.

Jio Financial Services News
Speaking on the Jio Financial Services Q1 2024 results, Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research, StoxBox, said, “We believe Jio Financial Services is poised to deliver impressive results in Q1FY25 aided by its operating income, which is likely to show robust growth driven by strong investment income, which in turn should lead to healthy PAT growth on a sequential basis. Jio Financial Services continues to make strategic moves such as launching digital products and expanding its ecosystem, with a clear focus on future growth. The company has announced plans to introduce products for lending against stocks and mutual funds, leveraging Jio’s large user base, which could be a significant growth driver in the coming quarters.”
“Furthermore, with the NBFC receiving RBI approval to become a primary investment company, Jio Financial Services is well-positioned to unlock value from its investments. Overall, we expect the company to report robust numbers in the upcoming quarter,” the StoxBox expert added.
Jio Financial Stock Target Price
Speaking about the technical outlook of Jio Financial share price, Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager, Technical Research at Anand Rathi, said, “Jio Financial Services share price is poised to make a fresh high at the ₹260 apiece level. If the stock breaks above this mark, the Reliance Group stock could make a fresh high by touching the ₹290-₹295 zone. Hence, those with Jio Finance stock in their portfolio are advised to stick to the script by keeping a stop loss at ₹205. If the stock breaks above ₹260 decisively, then one can upgrade the stop loss at ₹240 for the near-term target of ₹295.”
On the advice to new buyers regarding Jio Financial stock, Ganesh Dongre said, “New buyers are advised to wait for the breakout. Once the stock breaks above ₹260, one can buy this Reliance Group stock at the short term target of ₹295, keeping a stop loss of ₹240 apiece.”
