Jeff Tiedrich - maybe he's just a fucking idiot after all
so, Mad King Donny got to do his one-day victory lap.
after he announced a (temporary) pause to (some of) his tariffs, the markets soared, insider traders insider-traded the shit out of the jump, and Donny pranced about while the cultists threw flowers and hailed him as a liberator.
then yesterday, everything got flushed right back down the shitter because the markets woke up from their fever dream and suddenly remembered about the part where Dear Leader is an erratic fucking idiot and were still in an unwinnable trade war.
With uncertainty remaining about what comes next on tariffs and how the trade measures will affect the economy, markets came under renewed pressure Thursday. Markets have been extraordinarily volatile since Trump announced his wide-ranging tariff plan on April 2.
