Trumpenomics

He’s a smart guy. I think he knows better, but doesn’t want to lose his audience over it.

[Renauda]

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.

It's never been clear to me how anti-competitive manufacturing jobs are supposed to make america great again.

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

@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.
