OT: American Politics

Hilarious article in the wsj today. The boot lickers are sucking the D “it was his strategy all along”, “he carefully studies the market”, he was meeting with Schwab and whitmer to get broad perspectives, “perfectly executed”.

Then trump directly “I decided today, probably in the morning”

Well he just said that it's part of his deal making
 
Tariffs aren’t even really paused right? They’re just 125% on China, 25% on steel, aluminum, autos, and 10% on… every other country in the world? Plus more coming on copper, lumber, pharmaceuticals and who knows what else.

Feels like the frog was about to jump out of the pot and he brought us back down to a slow boil.

The 10% ones don't come in until the 90 days, I think.

Which also, I saw someone analyzed the weghted averages between what Trump initially announced, and what it will be, and the average tariff rate moves from 23% to... 26%. Now I think that might have also included the 10% rate also hitting Canada/Mexico, since they calculated it before the hours it took to confirm that. But basically, still an excruciatingly high rate.

I'm assuming most investors are basically only worrying about day to day. As long as they aren't actually imposing those 10% rates, people still expect/hope they'll be canceled.

This is very likely to be the most volatile 4 years in market history. And this is without any actual external crisis! Traders gonna have a blast.
 
It really shouldn’t be so hard to find a good Dem candidate. Most of the Dem policies are actually fairly popular when polled on their own. Just show you’ll fight as hard to help people as the Republicans are fighting to help themselves. Is it really that hard to communicate?
