WSJ Editorial critical of Trump's y'day rant

President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.

Unfortunately, his “moments” have become so extreme and so common that even its excesses are routine.

Why people have to accept it? Why are we giving such a pass to him? Can you imagine anyone getting such a pass?

In what sense is he getting a pass. Everything he does gets criticized vigorously. The main question is the criticism valid? Do you agree?

What action do you take? Write you Congressman? Letter to the editor? Gripe about it? Wait for next election?

Comments from the peanut gallery don’t have much impact.

In other words, people’s opinion doesn’t matter. Okay. I want to go back to politicians decided policy based on the polls…

Sounds political to me. How does that impact our investments?

Investments, economy needs stability. Not gyrations like this. One day it is 100%, nope 50%, nope 10%… what kind of tariff regime that companies, its suppliers need to plan for? It is not the only area.

The great AI capex is masking lot of pretty bad stuff.

Would you open a business right now that was dependent in whole or in part on a reliable supply of imported products or components?

If not, scale that up to the folks deciding whether to introduce an improved car battery, or softwood for home construction, or anything else that had parts made elsewhere?

That’s how it impacts our investments.

Once the chaos ends it should be a far better environment for companies to make long-term investments and expand. When exactly do we think this will happen? Do we need to wait one year or 3 years?

And when will the market start rising in anticipation?
