I don't think this would be true over the long term. First, should he become a serious contender, the markets will more aggressively price in his potential impact.
Anything can be priced in today. Everybody was flipping out about Brexit. It came, it went, all losses erased within five days. Trump would be more substantial, but after a few weeks of wild swings, things would normalize, the silver linings would be found, people would recall it's all a Fed policy driven joke anyway, and it'd continue its upward march.
The more crazy things happen with regularity, the less their impact.
