Still no excuse for sloppy thinking on his part.

Seeing a lot of this type of thing from business and finance types that voted Trump for the first time in 2024. They voted for him over wokeness, immigration, and Israel thinking the tariff stuff was mostly bluster.

Asness used to run the quantitative finance desk at Goldman before going in to start AQR Capital Management. He has advanced degrees in both CS and quantitative finance. Smart guy.

Maybe, just maybe…. Trump’s an idiot. It’s worth considering.

[Horace]

@xenon If he's obstinate enough about some sort of religious attachment to tariffs, that'll do till the real idiocy gets here.

[xenon]

I’m not saying it’s not a different flavor of incompetence.

North Dakota went big for Trump. Now many farmers say they face an uncertain future

As they get bit by tariffs, the North Dakota farmers who voted for Trump may be experiencing "buyer's remorse."

Was there ever a farmer who did not face an uncertain future?

[Horace]

I’ll be worried if the tariffs don’t drop his poll numbers noticeably.

"Tariffs are a tax a tax hike on foreign countries. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people."

Press secretary has to be one of the worst jobs I would not want.

If you lie good enough, you can become governor of a red state the very next election.
