This Morning’s Log Entry

Clearly, Trump is bothered by pundits in the media suggesting that he’s desperate for a China trade deal. Thus, he’s pushing back with statements that he’s “in no hurry”, that he “could walk away”, and so on. Additionally, the latest stock market strength, he believes, gives him that prerogative.


On the latter, he’s dead wrong. The economic strains directly resulting from the tariffs implemented since he took office are stemming from more than simply sentiment. Global supply chains are absolutely becoming disrupted, expansion plans have been put on hold, or canceled altogether, and earnings forecasts have been ratcheted down markedly.
