At some point micro economics will have to affect the macro. In the meantime, the stock market marches on. The micro issues will not get everyone's complete attention until the stock market gets slammed.

Justin, you need to stop pointing at stock market reaction every time Trump does something crazy. Sometimes, the market is going to do what the market is going to do. God forbid you start to sound like Larry Kudlow attributing every market gyration to some news event. :)

In unrelated news, the Trump Organization has just reported that they and a silent partner will soon be breaking ground on a string of Trump properties across Russia.

Justin, I enjoy reading your feed, however I wish you would stop trying to explain the hourly and daily gyrations of the stock market. I fear you will start to sound like Larry Kudlow. :)

I believe the purpose of Trump's presidency is to avoid going to jail, get retribution, and personal enrichment (monetary or ego). Anything positive he may accomplish for the good of the US is purely incidental.

And for the US companies that followed Trump's advice and have starting moving their manufacturing back to the US from Asia?

Coal mines for everyone. And let's cut safety regulations while we're at it.

Much like a corporate raider from the 1980's. When Trump and friends are finished, only a carcass of a country will be left and it will be leveraged to the moon.

If there is an increasing incidence of tax cheating by the super wealthy, shouldn't we consider instituting a VAT in place of an income tax? Everyone agrees that VAT's are regressive. However, a VAT may actually be less regressive than our current tax system is becoming.

And along the way Trump will also have "acquired" financial or other concessions from companies in the industries that he "saved".

Not to be outdone, the US has Steve Witkoff. I'm afraid Ukraine will require Devine intervention.

Apparently Tim Apple needs to make a larger contribution to Trump's re-election campaign. One time contributions will no longer cut it. CEO's will need a subscription.
