Is Trump TANKING The Market?
(00:00.738)
Donald Trump versus the bond vigilantes. So yesterday in a textbook textbook example of gaslighting people, Donald Trump was speaking and said that the stock market was down. Stock market was down due to the fact that his tariffs are being contested and he lost an appeals court. That’s why the stock market was down.
yesterday and you know I try to get my arms around this guy because it’s hard he says things like that and I Michael Corleone you know so don’t insult my intelligence you know please okay it makes me angry it does at this point I don’t even get really angry anymore I just come to expect the BS
I really do. You know what? think I don’t even think that he knows. I think that I’m still trying to understand this man. I think he believes his own BS. I think when he comes out and he says that the stock market is down because his tariffs are being contested, he probably believes it. He probably believes I know his sycophants do. That’s for darn sure.
Anyway, anyway, so yesterday, I took a look across the globe and you could see what was happening to the long bonds, whether it be Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK, or the United States, crash, bang, boom, the yields on these long term debt instruments going.

quite a bit to do. With the stock market and moving markets in the direction now again you’re also into the month of September traditionally a very very rough. Month for the markets but- what does it tell you okay you’ve got you’ve got. Countries all over the globe. Central banks all over the globe that are lowering rates. Lowering rates or-
You know, there’s anticipation that they are going to lower. It’s like we have here in the United States, people are expecting the Fed to lower rates. What does it say when we’re in that environment yet long-term bond yields are going up? Well, it’s outside of the central bank’s control is what it means. This is what we talked about.
with the bond vigilantes. They’re looking at various different, you know, instruments out there. And for lack of a better phrase, saying, come on, You expect people to lend you money at 5%, 4.8%, 3%, whatever it may be. Take a look at your books. Now, I’ve explained
know the scam before here on the program and how it works the scam- insurance companies banks various different institutions out there quite frank attention funds have no choice. Up to buy these instruments based upon you know how they have to structure their portfolios and liquidity and a myriad of other things which helps prop up the system in of itself but- really.
Yeah, you know, I’m lend. I’m gonna lend. You know what? I’m not gonna pick on any country. I’m gonna pick on the United States of America. I live here. Okay. We’re gonna lend. I’m gonna lend the United States of America money for 30 years. Paying me little under 5%. It’s getting up there. It’s getting close to five. Huh? Do I really want to do that?

Knowing what I know about inflation, knowing that our country is $37 trillion in debt and has no end in sight, keeps going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. I don’t know. know, oh, we see what’s happening with the value of our dollar in our buying power for all intents and purposes. OK, you’re losing money. Why would I do that? I want to do that again.
You know, it’s a business, it’s liquidity, know, most liquid market out there. People have to buy. I get all of that. But as an investor, as like an investor with you.
Nah. And again, that’s why rates are going up. And when those rates go up, OK, that most certainly affects the stock market. So no. No, no, Mr. President. OK, the markets weren’t down yesterday because of a court case against your tariffs. And the fact that the fact that you might have to pay if you lose at the Supreme Court and who knows what’s going to happen, I have no idea.
if you lose you’re gonna have to pay back. That tariff revenue or you might have a protracted case and- find some other lawsuit or something else to do I don’t know. I don’t know- but not. Now my friend it has nothing to do with that and as a hell of a lot to do. With all of these countries around the globe. To continue to- press the print button on the money machine.
