Summary
As Trump’s erratic tariff policy rattles global markets, investors and financial analysts are questioning his mental fitness.
Tom Lee of FSInsights said macro fund managers fear the White House is “not acting rationally, but rather on ideology,” with some even wondering if “the President might be insane.”
Lee placed full blame on Trump, saying his decisions lead to a “binary outcome,” though they often lack logic.
Market volatility surged after Trump raised tariffs on China to 125% before having to abruptly pause most tariffs.
Headlines like this, man. On one hand, good, I always like to see people thinking clearly and basing their thoughts on, you know, observations of the world.
On the other hand, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? It took until April 2025 for them to fear that he’s not acting rationally but rather on ideology? And these are people who see themselves as fit to manage other people’s money!
if there’s one thing that keeps getting proven again and again, it’s that business majors are generally quite dumb. They can’t understand anything unless you can put it in terms of money, so this really is the first time they’re realizing there’s a problem.
Even if you put it in terms of money, they’ll often remain willfully ignorant if the truth hurts their egos. Somewhere deep down, there’s a terrifying suspicion that they’re frauds who produce nothing of value.
At my university, they were by far the dumbest, even worse than the undergrad sociology students (the grad-level sociologists were much less of a joke).
