Markets no longer think Donald Trump is full of bluster and are moving quickly to anticipate a slowdown in U.S. and global growth as he raises a wall of tariffs around the world’s biggest economy and trading partners start to respond in kind.
Six weeks into his second term, the U.S. president has hit imports from Mexico and Canada with 25% levies, put an additional 20% tariff on goods from China, threatened reciprocal tariffs globally and cut off military aid to Ukraine.
But instead of the rising yields and higher dollar that investors had wagered on in November, the so-called “Trump trade” is in full retreat.
Trade conflict has begun in earnest and the dollar is falling while bond yields dive.
U.S. allies are rattled. As Goldman Sachs analysts note, the average tariff rate on imports from China is now 34% and the increase is already roughly twice as large as that in the first Trump administration. Nobody wants to bet anymore that there will be swift compromises or deals.

I am not anyone’s fiduciary and this is not financial advice, but any inverse-leveraged broad market ETF seems like a simple and sure bet right now.
Maybe, just maybe America as a whole should take civil duties like having basic civics knowledge seriously and we’d not have to worry as much about a single fucktard ruining everything?
It’s time only when it affects their pockets. Fucking leeches.
