> No one ever judges economic health by the stock market which you seem to be doing

On the news stations they do, and it was a bunch of FUD about the stock markets tanking.

Tesla, too. "Look what he's done to his brand, let's hit him in the wallet" blah blah.

That was while things were in a downtrend. It was going to be the biggest recession ever, Trump was so stupid he couldn't possibly understand the ramifications, etc.

Then it just never happened. Things went up.

The initial dip was bought up by retail investors then everyone realized TACO (Trump always chickens out) so the markets don't really care about tariff threats anymore.

What benefit have we gotten from the chaotic tariff policy? Any trade deals?
