Trump’s approval is up because the unemployment figures, at least the raw ones, are down. That will change when trade war layoffs begin to bite.

The markets seem to be taking the rhetoric in stride. I suspect it’s because as far as actions go, we’re seeing $16B in tariffs for multi-trillion dollar economies — it’s more trade “spitballing” then “war”.

Of course, the markets could drop 10% tomorrow. Then we’d know we’re in trouble.
