Trump tweets "I'm a Tariff man". Stocks dip

[Ted Frazier]

Incompetent as he is, it wouldn’t take much for Trump to become popular. All he has to do is to shut up sometimes.
The announcement of a truce with China and traded sent stocks soaring two days ago.
Instead of being quiet pending negotiations, Trump twetted this today
....I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN

Cause & effect or coincidence?

Investors are always skittish.

Some will take chances but most won't.

There are several things going on. Trump tweet couldn't have helped though.

One of the problems with Trump is that he does not realize that he is president and that his words have consequences.
