I think that the administration is simply making turmoil in order to manipulate markets for its own aggrandizement. It's good to be the king.I've always felt that too. The volatility of the markets (TARIFFS included) is making some people very wealthy. Bet on shorting something and you can make bank. If you're in the policy making orbit and share it with your family and friends, then Bob's your rich uncle.
As Eric Trump said, "this is a game to us."
All the best,
