the market is telling you that. if you look at flow of funds data and you look at the last six months of market activity, the stock market was up roughly 2.5% for the first six months. that s the worst half of a year since 2010 when we ve had a very great period of robust growth and low monetary policy. so, the market is getting in a defensive position and girding itself. and what i don t like about what s going on is the president set the tempo for american ceos, business leaders large and small. america is open for business, let s invest in the country. let s repatriate capital back from overseas. the trade rhetoric is slowing people down and he s a very, very smart guy. he s an entrepreneur. he adapted on the child separation policy. i figure he can adapt here quickly where we can leave the economy growing and still address the trade issue. i think he s right on the trade issue, but i think he s wrong to go at both sides as aggressively as he s going. now, a lot of people will b
you called on the president to change tactics now. i did. and the called on the president to reverse the child separation policy as well. but the reason i want to change tactics now is i spent a lot of time analyzing the situation and looking at flow of funds data, not only in europe, but here in the united states as well as china. and one of the things the president has done an amazing job of is he s boosted consumer confidence and the tax cut has led to a stimulation of the economy. not just our economy, but the global economy. what you re watching is the rhetoric and the tension and the escalation of the trade rhetoric is causing a loss of confidence that is very, very bad for market psychology. and so i m just sending up a warning flare to my friend and saying, listen, one way to change tactics here, the europeans and the united states, roughly a billion people, 46% of the world s gdp, both have issues with china. the president could say, listen why don t we address the imbalan
agreement. you ll see why these are imbalanced. we were i m sorry? the canadians today, i understand the point you re making about europe. okay. to expand that broadly to canada, the canadians slapped counter tariffs on us, on america today. do you think that the president is damaging the country in creating a trade war with our closest ally across our border? i would say not yet, no. i don t think any real damage has happened yet reverse course? the market is telling you that. it doesn t matter what you think or i think, kasie. the market is telling you that. if you look at flow of funds data and you look at the last six months of market activity, the stock market was up roughly 2.5% for the first six months. that s the worst half of a year since 2010 when we ve had a very great period of robust growth and low monetary policy.
president apartmen president s policy on that position saying he needs to, quote, change tactics now. what doesn t the president get about this, in your view? this is the thing. when people say i m tweeting critically, i m just really offering a bird s eye advice objectively. it s like the same thing with the child separation act. i said that that s a ridiculous policy. it has to be reversed. i think what sometimes happens is you re sitting in an echo chamber, kasie, and everybody wants to reaffirm each other s biases. you called on the president to change tactics now. i did. and the called on the president to reverse the child separation policy as well. but the reason i want to change tactics now is i spent a lot of time analyzing the situation and looking at flow of funds data, not only in europe, but here in the united states as well as china. and one of the things the president has done an amazing job of is he s boosted consumer confidence and the tax cut has
