So, the White House confirmed this afternoon that tariffs on the U.S.’s largest trading partners would begin tomorrow; and how does the stock market react to this — yet one more — reiteration that Dictator Don is not backing down from trying to tank the entire U.S. economy? With utter insouciance. Un-f***ing-believable. No wonder this guy got re-elected; you simply cannot convince morons of America just how seriously dangerous The Don! is to this country, no matter what he says or does, no matter what Americans have witnessed and experienced in the first two weeks of his second term. And if the U.S. stock market — the grandest of all market efficiency theory oracles — can’t seem to see Dictator Don for what he truly is, then America is lost. (Shocking!)
Slowly but surely and one by one, he has been dutifully fulfilling his campaign promises, and one of them was to slap the hell out of Canada and Mexico (and China to a lesser extent — go figure) with massive tariffs if they failed to fall in line behind Dear Leader. Well, they are defying him, and the stock market is inexplicably unconcerned by this. Oh, how the “titans” and “gurus” of Wall Street will be mightily embarrassed for daring to believe Dictator Don really has any concern or forethought when it comes to protecting America’s economy or the average consumer. He does not. I’m not sure at what point “experts” of the market will ever be convinced that all The Don! wants to do is wreck things and steal money — American’s money. Oh, well. This is what morons of America voted for, and they are going to get it in spades. Welcome to trump stupid America!
