"Trump cannot assuage the bond market. He cannot convince it that he is 'normal' and should be given the benefit of the doubt. He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court or Paul Weiss or Columbia." - ThreadSky

My name is Bond. Treasury Bond. And I have a license to stop you.

It's only going to get worse. China, Japan, and the UK are selling off US securities.

The madman strategy only works if the other side knows you’re only pretending to be crazy. That’s why it doesn’t work for Trump.

It appears that Trump is hastening America's departure from the world. He will make the remaining population subservient to Corporate America. Just like China, we will work for $3 or $4 an hour. Just wait, you'll see

Oh look, Republican and Democrat neoliberals bled the US dry, and now the bastards that bleed us dry are moving all our wealth elsewhere. Guess we should just lay down and let it happen.

Maybe, just maybe, the fact the rest of the world realizes he is insane will wake the bulk of his non kool aid drinking supporter s up. Congress needs to reign the tariff terror in.

I keep hoping the same but they just create a new narrative rather than own their colossal lack of judgement.

Or their colossal lack of cojones.

Talked to Karoline Leavitt and she told me the Bond market was purchased by Amazon. Therefore, any questions about the James Bond market should be made to Jeff Bezos.

If she were a character in a movie or novel she would be over the top. Dumb and arrogant is hard to watch.

We told them not to mess with Canada.

Turns out the bond market may be the one thing Trump can’t shoot on 5th Avenue.

Imagine backing off a national trade policy because the bond market raised an eyebrow.
That’s not a market.
That’s a mob boss.

“I used to think that if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the President or the Pope or as a 400 basball hitter. But now I would like to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody.”

You don’t negotiate with the bond market.
You apologize to it and hope it forgets your name.

Hence the Trump tariff capitulation.

mcsweeney.bsky.social•1 day ago

Capitulation won't fix this problem. If someone tried to push out of a window+then stopped at the last minute. They didn't save your life. They nearly killed you. That's what Trump did to the world economy. No one wants to have anything to do with us. Which is why they're selling US treasury bills.

Great headline 👍

Tried to read it but there’s a paywall.

The bond market scared him because a stock market crash would have forced him to actually govern, day after day in crisis control, just like covid. The fact he caused it doesn't register because he believes he can just bs his way out if anything. But governing is a bridge too far

I don’t want out of Trump‘s America. I want Trump out of my America.
