Markets Drop, So News Outlets Could Say Trump is Starting Trade War

Morning lads

I had a late start today, as the schools around here had a delayed open and then I had to go walk my new dog — something that I enjoy doing very much because she’s psychotic and tries to eat all other dogs and she charges towards every single car that is driving on the street. It makes for a most enjoyable morning saunter.

Markets are off sharply and the news headlines are suggesting it has something ado with Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods, something to the tune of $50 billion. You do realize how ridiculous that sounds, right? China pisses and defecates on $50b.

Truth be told, markets haven’t been the same since XIV blew up.
