Dollar-exit leveraging is the new Dollar cost averaging #EconSky
Line chart showing the relative value of the US dollar by various presidents' first 100 days in office. Nixon's line is poor, dropping as much as 10%. But Trump's line stands out as a steady drop. He is underperforming even his own first term.

It seems pretty likely to me that there is another U.S. debt downgrade coming. The administration’s trade war is undermining the global safe-haven status of the U.S. Also, the White House has attacked the rule of law. That's third-world tinpot dictator type of stuff. Not good for bonds. #EconSky
