Trump is way out of his depth and with idiots like Navarro advising him things will get worse quickly.

Excellent job of pointing out the inconsistencies and yet as, was it?, Emerson said: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Not that I'm saying Trump intends these inconsistent positioning, just that he's doing his thing. The folks around him are trying to make it fit a broader trajectory and serve a purpose that if not helpful will at least lay open new opportunities for recovery after the Fourth Turning. We're all in this together. Pray for the best.

Yes indeed, plus energy and natural resources stocks (Mining including PM Mining) plus emerging markets like BRICS for diversification.

That tariff imposed by President Trump on India for buying oil from Russia was one of the biggest examples of dunbshit diplomacy I've ever witnessed. I predicted last week that the result would be that he would chase Russia back toward China. Now he can add India to the list of nations being driven away from the US.

It won't matter one bit whether these tariffs are legal; it's just the most idiotic thing that could have been done in the moment. And he found a way to do it.
