The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

The Trump regime aims to make America whiter by deporting and violently repressing racial minorities they hate, including citizens and various noncriminals.
As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, no way to do that without awful optics. A majority of Americans were raised to think the Gestapo was bad.

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.
