Summary
As Trump’s erratic tariff policy rattles global markets, investors and financial analysts are questioning his mental fitness.
Tom Lee of FSInsights said macro fund managers fear the White House is “not acting rationally, but rather on ideology,” with some even wondering if “the President might be insane.”
Lee placed full blame on Trump, saying his decisions lead to a “binary outcome,” though they often lack logic.
Market volatility surged after Trump raised tariffs on China to 125% before having to abruptly pause most tariffs.
Headlines like this, man. On one hand, good, I always like to see people thinking clearly and basing their thoughts on, you know, observations of the world.
On the other hand, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? It took until April 2025 for them to fear that he’s not acting rationally but rather on ideology? And these are people who see themselves as fit to manage other people’s money!
if there’s one thing that keeps getting proven again and again, it’s that business majors are generally quite dumb. They can’t understand anything unless you can put it in terms of money, so this really is the first time they’re realizing there’s a problem.
Even if you put it in terms of money, they’ll often remain willfully ignorant if the truth hurts their egos. Somewhere deep down, there’s a terrifying suspicion that they’re frauds who produce nothing of value.

At my university, they were by far the dumbest, even worse than the undergrad sociology students (the grad-level sociologists were much less of a joke).
A certain group of people care about literally nothing other than Line Go Up.
Line did not go up, therefore they want blood.
Yeah, that’s the unfortunate truth. He can destroy lives, destroy our standing in the world, destroy our natural resources and climate, and betray to his heart’s content. But once he starts messing with the slope of rich people’s lines, that’s when I can see his own side get ready to remove him from office.
Based on the recently circulated video of him bragging about how much money his inner circle made by buying the dip before he announced the tarrif pause, it seems not all rich people were left in the dark.
I’m not informed enough on the finer points of market manipulation law, but it certainly quacks like a duck.
Well, considering I’ve read complaints for years about how it’s legal for Congress to insider trade, and how we’ve all seen Trump get away with dozens of existing financial felony convictions plus having nuclear secrets laying around in the shitter, in very much doubt anything will happen regardless of how criminal it was.
But if it ends with more sycophants in his orbit behind bars, then I guess that’s still a positive.
It’s not legal for congress to insider trade any more than it’s legal for you to speed.
Just because a lot of people do it and it’s not enforced enough doesn’t make it legal.
Might? Might??
Since 2015 people have been saying it. The best people like psychologists and his cousin like Mary and anyone else who actually spent time with him and survivors of abuse by similar personas and the survivors of his actual rapes and sexual violence. Many people, the best people, everyone was talking about it.
The worst is yet to come case however low it gets, this little fuck will dig to go lower. Like a home invasion where he fucks your wife, head fucks your daughter, sodomizes your son, kills your dog, eats your cat, shits in fridge, etc. Things will keep getting worse cause he has zero self awareness.
It only took them a decade, minimum, to figure it out, huh? Truly, the greatest minds amongst men.
Malignant narcissist with strong sociopathic tendencies. This has literally been known for years.
No shit
Might be? LOL.
Welcome to 10 years ago…
He’s also a traitor.
Depends on your perspective, I guess. If his objective was to manipulate the market more than at any other time in history while simultaneously destroying three decades of progress between two of the largest countries, and one of the largest federation of countries in the entire world then I would say he’s been outrageously successful.
If you mean anything else, then no. He hasn’t been. But I can’t wait for the MAGA crew to get in here to tell me how tariffs are actually good and how they strengthen an industry which no longer exists in the country.

He’s certainly old enough to be significantly impacted by mental decline. Some have it happen much earlier than others.
He has been insane his entire life. He just is at a point now where it gets to unfold much more freely than it ever has, because he has been crowned de facto king of everything.
Insane? Or just an idiot?
They aren’t mutually exclusive.
Both and more. He’s an insane, idiotic, egotistical, megalomaniacal, bitter, bigotted, petulant narcissist. All of that
Might?? Might?? I believe a number of healthcare professionals have chimed in on his mental state.
Fund managers worry Trump “might” be insane
