Ok what’s going on here?
Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset.
Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it.
Means the world may be abandoning America.
We are flirting with a true crisis.

Many of the smartest people alive still want to believe Trump is a fool. And that (plus Elon's $45 billion) is how he won.
No one believed he had a plan. And this persists as he picks off university after university and law firm after law firm.
The trade war is how he takes his tyranny global.
