Ah, was there another tweet in the last hour or so? I was looking in the news for it.

It is getting ridiculous that Trump makes a statement and the market follows whatever direction he wants. What's worse is that the story stays the same e.g real chances of trade deal at 5 on a continuum of one to 10. Depending on Trump's mood he makes it look like chances are 2 or 9 when infact the whole time the reality never changed (of chances of deal at 5). Only his mood changed!

The worst part is not that. The worst part is that the markets follow what he says even though there is little to no substance to it. The only thing is that if he does hold the power to get a deal done (even if its a bad one) so I suppose his mood does somewhat dictate what will happen in the future.
