I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

That whole "Government by Whim" approach might not be as good for "invest-in-America" as Bessent wants to try and tell people...

See Foxconn, Wisconsin, etc. It's bullshit

i think we all well past the point where there is majority belief in this country in a thing as vague as "rule of law". Its entirely made up on the fly and selectively applied depending on the day.

He’s a modern day Juan Peron. The sooner everyone realizes this and then imagines the possibility of the rule of law faltering they can proceed accordingly to salvage what they can.

You can’t tell me he is unlike populists of the past or that economic laws do not apply to him. It’s happening

In essence: he's realistically a dictator until/unless anything stops him.

I honestly expect him to sign an EO lowering interest rates for big companies because he has been chomping at the bit about it. Probably something he promised his billionaire buddies.

I don’t know why we’re up this much off the lows when a) nothing fundamental has changed (it arguably worsened for globalism) and b) we’re still at the mercy of a single Truth Social post declaring “no deal!”
