"Trump has a lot of experience negotiating deals where he completely dominates the other party; we're about to see how he does when he has to handle a negotiation where that's not the case."

great post.

I think that yesterday's huge bounce was short sellers covering. I looked earlier today, and
market is down broadly, so it appears that the majority of investors are realizing that
nothing has been solved in regards to the tariffs. And actually, by the selloff, I'd say more
investors are pretty leery of trusting anything that comes out of Trump's mouth.

Trump and his team are not helping their cause by trying to propagandize that the 90 day tariff
delay is some kind of victory for them. Virtually everybody I know watched that BS, and
thought that these are very ill-prepared, rash and reckless people. But I'm sure Fox and
Newsmax aren't spinning it that way, Art of the Deal BS.

I'm not religious, but God help us all if we're reliant on Trump to handle negotiations
in which he can't just bully a far weaker party.
