Chaos at Trump's Core

Trump II, the digital Caligula delivered chaos to senior citizens on Social Security before tanking global markets.  

The "raising revenue" vs. "negotiating tactic" ambiguity is resolving in the direction of new free and fair trade deals.  That leaves Congress to backfill any revenue holes that have opened up.  The Red Team hates raising revenue.

Funny thing,, everybody tells you give him a chance, give him some time. Don't judge him by his past. But knowing what you know and knowing his past and knowing he does not stand by anything he says ever EVER how do you leave yourself exposed to believing him now when he doesn't give a **** what he said and you are left holding the bag. I don't understand people. I hope the market shuts 'em down

Dylan Rattigan and Tom Sosnoff called Trump II's economic gyrations "destabilization at its finest and it's executed at its worst....It's all about manipulation.  It's all about one person's ego.....Trump has gamified the market and can move it on a single tweet."

"On a global scale we are a laughingstock and we've been exposed."

The world will move on without the United States whenever and wherever possible.  Seniors don't have that option.

Update:  Axios reported:

Trump buckled under tremendous, mounting-by-the-minute pressure from CEOs ... friends ... GOP senators ... the markets ... and bond prices.

Regarding tariff exemptions Trump noted how he'll "decide":

Instinctively, more than anything else," Trump said. "You almost can't take a pencil to paper. It's really more of an instinct, I think, than anything else."

Yes, the ole Trump "savage whim." 

Update 4-11-25:  Just a general comment on Trump II, the digital Caligula from Jesse:

The lawlessness of this Administration and defiance of the Constitution and rule of law is not surprising, but the way in which few in government do or say anything is. This will end in tears.

Update 4-14-25:   Trump's byzantine tariff plan/non-plan shocked the economic world into shambles, after which Trump said "I know what I'm doing" when he clearly does not.  Even The Apprentice staff had to reverse engineer Donald's inaccurate decisions.
