On Friday, NBC’s Today devoted a full report to stoking fears that Donald Trump’s criticism of businesses could ruin people’s investments. MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle appeared on the morning show to warn viewers: “Imagine a tweet, a single tweet losing you money. 140 characters could cost you 140 bucks maybe 1,400, maybe more. That is how powerful the president's voice is, it can move markets.”

She took aim at the President-elect: “And whether you know it or not, that offhanded tweet from Donald Trump blasting the CEO, hitting up this industry, it could send your 401k up or down – maybe it already has.” Moments later, Ruhle noted that “Trump’s intervention in business has some CEOs nervous.”
