If markets hate anything it’s uncertainty.

And boy has Trump caused that.

Already US consumer comfort’s plummeting, seems business investment is going the same way.

His random approach is making it increasingly impossible for any corporation to make investment plans so they simply stop doing so.

The knock on effects for the US economy could be significant indeed with shock waves felt around the world.

We’ll see how long his popularity lasts when his actions drive down the S&P, drive up inflation and cause labour market chaos.

As the US has substantially more domestic stock market investors than almost any other country its domestic political fortunes are almost uniquely tied to it as a key metric of how the US population measures its wealth.

Trump might find that people turn on him way quicker than he thinks.

I can already see it as investments and pension pots are tanking daily.

I retired 4 months ago and my superannuation is down around $20K in a fortnight.
I expect it to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
His stance on Ukraine is unlikely to change much. The economy is a bit more of an unknown, you would think that there is a lot of pressure going to be applied behind the scenes if the markets continue to tank.
He prides himself in being this great, successful businessman and a Wall Street collapse under his presidency would not look that great on his CV.

He'll just call Wall Street "woke" and people will cheer him on.

Trumps backs down on Mexico tariffs again. Very disappointing. Really want to see him royally **** everything up.

This really is an absolute shambles. What’s it been? 2 days or so since the tariff was introduced?

The guy has no ****ing clue what he’s doing.

Or I suppose alternatively, he knows exactly what he’s doing and is manipulating markets to help his rich pals get richer.

The Tate brothers not as smug as they were a couple of days ago. Florida opening up an investigation into them. Wonder if the Don will step in?

I reckon you're right going by some of the valuations of some companies, TBF I just wasn't wanting to piss off Lendo even more.

I wouldn’t worry, I am constantly pissed off at the moment . Hibs are the one shining light in a miserable world right now.

Problem is this time he has an idea of what he can get away with and also has a "sociopathic" billionaire helping him.

Trump on two astronauts stuck in space: "Maybe they'll love each other, I don't know. But they've been left up there. Think of it. And I see the woman with the wild hair. Good solid head of hair she's got. There's no kidding. There's no games with her hair."

On the subject of space, that's the Gulf of Mexico being cleared of planes again to avoid debris from Elon's exploded spacecraft.

Musk should invite Trump to accompany him on his next manned Starship failure. If only!!!!

Probably performative to convince the clowns who believe they are on their side.

I thought this Jonathon Freedland article describing Trump as a wannabee Mafia Don is pretty accurate.
