Seeing the negative 3+ in the markets just now, I belatedly realized something: Trump has trumped himself, AGAIN.
Very Bad: Crash the markets because MAYBE you sincerely believe that tariffs will solve SOME problem, make things more fair, whatever. Sure, pretty much EVERYONE has told you that they won't, and there's certainly a HUGE element of stubborn, dumb arrogance to it. But you still might REALLY believe that they're best for the country.
Worse: Crash the markets ONLY - I repeat, ONLY - because you need to show that you're the King, and not some stupid Fed Chairman. You can fire him any damn time you want !!!
Really, really incredible.
Yes, the uncertainty and losses in the market are the only bad things Trump has done. But the market went up a ton during his first term and I’m sure it’ll do the same during his second term…and even more for his third term ;)
