Is it possible for the leftists to crash the stock market right before the election?

Question

No trying to stir political debate.  But it seems a really great (and obvious) scenario coming into the next election would be for the stock markets to be heavily tanked, thus removing one of Trump's last 'accomplishments' - record-high stocks and 401Ks.

How would this likely be achieved?  Would it be as simple as a coordinated sell-off?

And (of course the $64K question) when would be the best time to implement this?

No. the stock-market is run by stock-brokers - not by the left, not by the president.

Soros, etc.  Will try,  they have billions to gamble, and certainly a Biden victory would gain them 100's of billions

Yesterday the Atlanta Fed released its newest GDP estimate.   The estimate for Q2 is -35%.  That's on top of the 5% drop from Q1; thus GDP shrank 40% this year so far. https://www.frbatlanta.org/-/media/documents/cqer/researchcq/gdpnow/RealGDPTrackingSlides.pdf  Given that kind of historically huge GDP drop, it will be shocking if the stock markets DON'T reflect the bad news with a drop.

Considering Biden is leading in Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania polls, there doesn't seem to be any need to.
