View submission: Thoughts on trump’s economy?

Shockingly, when your nation is a keystone for the global economy, people lose a lot of confidence in the global economy, and thus in your economy when the president declares an emergency and uses it to spaz out with tariffs on and off every few days.

If you want tariffs to change anything, even for the worse as is his stated goal, you need to be consistent enough that the markets can trust in the changing winds and not expect that this is simply a rough patch that's better to weather through instead of making massive upfront investments into industry that might be rendered non-competetive in 2 weeks time.
