As Donald Trump’s back-and-forth on trade policies creates chaos in the financial markets, some fund managers are questioning the rationality of his decisions.
“In the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers,” Tom Lee, the head of research at the financial analysis firm FSInsights, wrote on Wednesday morning, before Trump backed down from most of his tariffs on U.S. trading partners.
“And their concern is that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology,” he added. “A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”
Ya think?
But his doctor just said he has perfect health and perfect mind.
His bone spurs even magically disappeared!
It's not his first time he uses a doctor who will say whatever he wants for a fee.
Did he tho? I think the orange baby claimed to have answered everything correctly, but no health checks have officially been published.
These people are slow learners eh?
He’s 80 years old and has lived his life in erratic impulsivity. That’s the background structure of the inertia he is experiencing during dementia, allegedly.
If fate is exceptionally cruel (to us), he'll live to 100+ while losing most of his faculties much earlier while still being propped up. Seeing as to how the worst possible humans to exist seem to somehow outlast every decent person ever, I'm not holding out much hope.
It doesn't really change your point, but he's only 78 years old.
If they had stopped for 2 minutes between lines of coke to think about this, they would've realized this about a decade ago.
might
Heh
How would you even be able to tell if Donald got dementia?
No way.
It has been long obvious that he doesn’t have the mental capacity for leadership of anything, much less the USA
Ya think?
It's more that the plan was based on overconfidence in US exceptionalism and power, and gross misunderstanding of Navarro's stupidity. Like propaganda that west is stronger than Russia militarily, and sanctions would cause Russians to be as stupid as the west's gullible population, instead of extremely determined to defend themselves. Tarrifs on the world combined with military threats to allies creates the same determination against US, and the illusion that the US is more powerful than China is something that disappears when reality is tested. The illusion that the US has any economic sustainability or strength at all, gets tested.
It's all about plans that are based on lies, and the propagandized belief of those lies, must adjust to reality.
Might be?
Uh, all of this was planned by the oligarchs who support Trump. It was literally advertised a year before he was elected, it is called a wealth transfer and has nothing to do with politics, sanity or ideology.
It’s theft by means of terror, and events like this will keep happening: taking the markets to the brink and even beyond sometimes, over and over again for the next few years.
After people get jaded enough to not be so shocked, the ante will be upped: expect everything to be used, eventually, to swing the markets, including threats of nuclear war and brinkmanship with China and others.
This wild ride is only starting
