During his second term, President Trump has departed from relying on market signals and media coverage as checks on his actions, particularly regarding tariffs. Unlike during his first term, where advisers often used market reactions to guide Trump’s decisions, he now appears unbothered by falling stock prices and media critiques. With fewer advisers willing to dissent, Trump seems resolved to leverage his trade policies in pursuit of a transformative vision for the economy while remaining undeterred by potential political repercussions.
Advisers say the president is tuning out the markets and coverage and isn't worried about the political impact of his tariffs-at least not yet.
Trump is showing no signs-at least not yet-of being encumbered by political considerations as he makes the biggest bet of his presidency.
