Is Mr. Market Already Tired Of The Bullsh-t?
Whatever happens on jobs Friday and thereafter, the price action on Wall Street this week amid Donald Trump's tariff flip-flopping was ominous: Market participants are unnerved enough by the perception of chaos that they were unmoved by the administration's abrupt decision Thursday to yet again delay the imposition of import taxes on Canada and Mexico.
Typically, Trump can engineer a recovery in risk sentiment simply by announcing tariff reprieves or otherwise dialing down his adversarial rheto
People might be waking up to the dissolution of our nation at all levels. Trump may not have a plan but he has said what he wanted to do and is doing it, God help us.

Sociopaths have a distinct pattern; unwavering desire for personal gain or glory, make overt/blunt moves to achieve, blame others or the victim(s) for the results.

Unfortunately the only way to deal with a sociopath is to not engage with them at any level.. call BS and move on. So here we are, at a global level, trapped in a toxic relationship with our own neighbors cheering it on as they watch with glee from their front yard.
