Trumps inconsistent tariffs, and just as important, threats about imposing tariffs, create chaos in the market. It certainly has an ours. In Trump’s  opinion, that’s a benefit to the United States. All of “the sky is falling” predictions over the past year have not come true so I would say Trump’s strategy has worked.

A big part of that is the independent market's luxury of pre-stocking goods.  That's the single thing, in my opinion, that has delayed the impact on the average US consumer, and their opinion on Trump tariff policy.

 The morons at Yale are obviously oblivious to the superiority of Observed Reality.  These idiots used verifiable data that conflicts with what I have Observed so they must be wrong.

What are the stock markets doing NOW, with China and the EU dumping their US bonds, and China wanting the $800 billion in gold they loaned us back?

 The idiots at Yale reference this.  Obviously we know better than they do.
