Summary
As Trump’s erratic tariff policy rattles global markets, investors and financial analysts are questioning his mental fitness.
Tom Lee of FSInsights said macro fund managers fear the White House is “not acting rationally, but rather on ideology,” with some even wondering if “the President might be insane.”
Lee placed full blame on Trump, saying his decisions lead to a “binary outcome,” though they often lack logic.
Market volatility surged after Trump raised tariffs on China to 125% before having to abruptly pause most tariffs.
Unfortunately Trump isn’t alone in that regard - quite a lot of people reach adulthood lacking critical thinking and the ability to actually discern what is or isn’t a reliable and useful source of information. Add to that the propaganda machine of media empires like Murdoch’s and it’s no wonder people buy Trump’s inane ramblings.
