The phrase "he has a method to his madness" means that there is a good reason behind someone's seemingly strange or irrational behavior. It suggests that even if their actions appear foolish, they are actually part of a larger plan or purpose.
But not Donald Dumb. He is a demented ignorant asshole without a method. Senility, mediocrity, dementia, old creep, old fart... you name it. Donald is it.
Some financial managers on Wall Street apparently fear Trump doesn’t actually have a tariff plan, and hence they conclude that he "might be insane" as his back-and-forth on trade policies creates chaos in the financial markets.
Better listen to Donald Dumb's former national security adviser John Bolton. He is a highly regarded, well-informed, but diehard radical warmongering republican. BUT during his quick stint at the White House during Trump's abysmal first term, he was thoroughly unimpressed with Donald Dumb, qualifying him as a dishonest man who can no longer perceive the difference between the truth and his lies. “It’s not that he lies a lot, because to lie, you have to do it consciously. He just can’t tell the difference,” Bolton continued. “So he makes up what he wants to say at any given time".
Bolton further said Donald Dumb is “fundamentally ignorant” about national security. “It reveals an important trait about Trump on national security
issues and many others,” Bolton said. “He’s fundamentally ignorant, and
he really doesn’t care about the facts. He thinks international
relations are about personal relations", which is why "world leaders think of Trump as a 'laughing fool'."
Tom Lee, head of research at the financial analysis firm FSInsights, wrote on Wednesday morning, before Trump backed down from most of his tariffs on U.S. trading partners, “In the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers ... And their concern is that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology,” he added. “A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”
Trump induced market volatility on Wednesday after he put in place significant tariffs on countries across the world before backtracking in the afternoon, instituting a 90-day pause on tariffs above a baseline of 10 percent on all countries apart from China. After China said it was setting an 84 percent tariff on the U.S., Trump responded by raising tariffs on the second-largest economy in the world to 125 percent, which he then raised to 145% as investors began fleeing US assets. Now China has increased its own tariffs to 134% on US imports.
“If stocks begin to fail here, this would point to the rising probability we are facing a prolonged period of tightening financial conditions ... the longer this volatility lasts, the greater the risk the US and the world are getting pushed into a needless recession.”
