everything starts to make a lot more sense when you recognize that trump isn't running a government, he's looting it while producing a television show where he plays the president
I know a little something about military spending. I'd be shocked if this stunt didn't cost the taxpayer millions of dollars.
So much for "government efficiency."

What's striking about Trump in terms of forpol is how little actually happens, and how much of what does happen then unhappens. The only things that last are the boat murders, kidnappings and bombings.
The energy expended, first on shock and then on processing it all, is still just as exhausting.

The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.
