In reply to the discussion: Trump says things are 'going very well' after worst stock market drop in years over tariffs [View all]Mike 03
(18,328 posts)13. Bloomberg Radio has been playing this clip, to the dismay of the hosts
and guests.
Of course he's an idiot and this is outlandish, but I am guessing the motive behind this is to act like he anticipated what happened today and is "fine" with it, and also (maybe more importantly) to disabuse everyone of the notion he will quickly reverse the moronic thing he has done to the world economy.
If he acted upset or surprised, it could be interpreted as signaling he might change his mind.
But it is simply preposterous.
