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.

>Despite the media tantrum the market only dropped back to early 2025 levels at the most. 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.
