Despite the media tantrum the market only dropped back to early 2024 levels at the most.


A president should not be essentially day trading the economy.

The volatility levels are unseen since Covid and GFC.

People’s livelihoods will be at stake soon enough.

US voters disagree.


> US voters disagree.

Some polls would disagree with your assessment:

> A Wall Street Journal poll released Friday[1] found 52 percent disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, compared to 44 percent who approve. The disapproval is 12 points higher than the 40 percent who said in October that they had an unfavorable view of Trump’s economic plans.

> Pollsters found 54 percent said they oppose placing tariffs on imported goods, while the percentage who said tariffs will raise prices on consumer products rose from 68 percent in January to 75 percent in March.

A) This is obviously wrong if you spend even 5 seconds looking it up, unless you misspelled "2024"

B) You can't just ignore that they spent several days telling financial journalists it was just a negotiating tactic and leading them to believe this might be peeled back quickly.


Oops that was a typo. Yes 2024 levels. Market is unbelievably overvalued anyways.


Yes, but I don't think we've ever had a president pop a market bubble at a date & time of his choosing. Funny for the party of "don't let the government choose winners & losers" and all that.
