There are so many things that the president has done that feel illegal but aren’t technically simply because the lawmakers never imagined someone would employ this mix of chicanery and audacity. It’s the confidence of a child never told no.
When it comes to forecasts we are alway trying to fight the last war. This tariff situation won’t be like the past and yet may have similar results. I believe it won’t last. That we will see regression to the mean but I think the mean is lower than where we were recently and that will be enough to bring about that overdue recession that has been forecast for the last few years.
It feels like we're just pressing "shuffle" on the global economy. While I think someone needed to do that, I just really hope I don't have to listen to five years of Nickelback before something good comes on.
We are at a strategic disadvantage on the world stage due to the (preferable) reality that it is nearly impossible for the US to execute on anything longer than a 4-8 year unified strategic plan. China, on the other hand, is a communist dictatorship that has the ability to execute a 20-30 year vision with minimal internal disruptions.
In other words, if someone wants to drive true and lasting global economic impact as a US President / administration, it needs to be drastic, quick, and, unfortunately, jarring to our markets. Gradualism will just be undone by the next administration.
DISCLAIMER: Not an argument in favor or against the Trump Admin's handling of trade / tariffs, I won't pretend to be the expert on that topic. Just an interesting aside that I think gets overlooked when talking global game theory.
It's all a very expensive distraction for the US economy and people. I have no idea what's going to happen next, but I know it's going to be bad for a bunch of people who have no voice in the outcome. People will lose their businesses, careers, and future retirements as a result of these self-inflicted injuries. Meanwhile, welcome to a future where more people are repressed, and Tourism has already dropped because the rest of the world no longer think the US is a desirable destination. Causing constitutional crisis is not normal and normalizing it as if this is just partisan politics is not good citizenship. This too shall hopefully pass.
Trump was an erratic, sloppy businessman and a lousy real estate developer (see: The Plaza, Atlantic City casinos, the trashy money pit in Chicago...the list goes on). This hot mess in the WH is on brand.
