This latest gyration comes less than a week after Trump triumphantly posted a video online that said he was “purposely crashing the stock market,” as a favor to his fellow Americans. His sudden change of approach comes just one week after he publicly launched his tariff blitz, with numbers, math, and tactics that made absolutely no sense to pretty much anyone who looked at it. For now, it seems as if the president’s economy-nuking bad math was somehow too stupid to implement, even for this uniquely depraved administration. “I can breathe now … But everything could change tomorrow,” one big Trump and GOP donor says, days after telling Rolling Stone: “I don’t know if I would be this worried about what will happen to the economy if Bernie fucking Sanders were president. That’s how bad this is.”
