6. People don't get it...

Trump has an understanding with the billionaires... with the big investors and hedge fund folks.

In private he says "I got your back" and he does.

In reality he's trying to get bond rates down to lower the cost of debt, he's trying to push JPowell into rate cuts.

Rate cuts would be crack cocaine for the market right now.

During the campaign I'm 100% sure that he made promises to Bezos, Zuck, Musk, Thiel, Dimon and their ilk.

Of course the markets won't crash.

Trump is bought and paid for.
