    From alhambrapartners.com

    The first 15 months of President Trump’s second term has seen a whirlwind of policy changes, many of which have been notable for their extreme nature. President Trump’s style, his modus operandi, is capricious and so are his policies – unpredictable, impulsive and often a result of anger at some perceived slight. To say that it is hard for companies to plan and invest for the future is the understatement of this century – at least.

They can hardly be called "policy changes" inasmuch as they are simply "out from the moron's head" changes for self-aggrandizement and grifting. The moron wants to be the center of people's attention.... as though that is automatically a "good thing for him". Of course, it isn't. But, he is a moron, you know! So, he changes things to get noticed and to increase grifting opportunities for he and his family. As any intelligent person would expect, the net effect of Trump's changes is bad, not good! And as for that being just "Noise, Little Effect"..... yes, perhaps for the wealthiest, because they are insulated from bad effects, except perhaps a nuclear event near them. And much of this kind of "news" nowadays is from the viewpoint of the "happy-go-lucky" rich who are little affected by most of what moron Trump does. They think they are the kingpins of our economy and our democracy.... which tells us how bad things really are, even without Trump added to the mix. Ask the "man on the street" however, and they will spit on "Little Effect" and probably because they have lost their job, home, and health.
