Trump is whiplashing America (again)
The art of the deal = the art of the steal
Businesses thrive on stability to make sound investment decisions that drive economic growth. However, under President Trump's administration, the economic landscape has been anything but stable.
Just this morning, I woke up to news that the administration slapped a staggering 104% tariff on Chinese imports. Now, merely hours later, he's reversed course, announcing a 90-day pause on these tariffs for most countries—except China, which now faces an even steeper 125% tariff. This kind of erratic policymaking is unworkable for anyone serious about business.
In a mere 12 hours, Trump folded and executed a complete policy U-turn. Just four hours before announcing the pause, he tried to pump $DJT, the stock of his failing social media app. The S&P 500 experienced a historic intraday reversal, wiping out a 4.1% gain to close down 1.6%—its largest such reversal since October 2008.
The art of the deal is truly the art of the steal.
Instead of delivering on promises to lower prices, Trump has effectively performed a crypto-style pump and dump on the entire global economy. He's thrown a grenade into the economic system and is now trying to brag about not actually pulling the pin. This is ridiculous, humiliating, and dangerous.
He's attempting to play both the arsonist and the firefighter, capitulating in under a day.
I've said this before, but I want you to ask yourself one question: If Trump were being controlled by Russia, what would he be doing differently right now?
He’d be doing nothing different. He’s Putin’s puppet. Putin is the only one winning! We certainly aren’t!
Insider trading? Who in the White House profited? “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY! DJT” at 9:37am and less than 4 hours later he flip flopped on tariffs. Adam Schiff is investigating, check out Adam’s 2 minute Substack video.
