"Tesla’s stock has undergone a withering sell-off, and the CNBC All-America Economic survey finds more than 47% of the public have a negative view of the company. Another 27% are positive on the electric vehicle maker, while 24% are neutral."

"I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump."

"But those attacks are only rattling markets and investors more, backfiring on Trump. We talked to one of the best economic commentators out there, Washington Post columnist Heather Long, author of a new piece on how Trump’s 'tariff madness' is likely to drive us into a recession. She explains why the prognosis is so grim—and why Trump is in a bind with no easy way out."

"On Tuesday, largely due to President Trump’s tariffs, the International Monetary Fund downgraded its projections for economic growth in a big way. Meanwhile, we’re already starting to see layoffs. All that comes as new polls show Trump cratering on the economy. Trump is now angrily shifting blame to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for the tariff fallout."

"Tesla was once the darling of Wall Street, and Musk was the 'boy genius' who could do no wrong. Those days are gone. Tesla released its financial statements for the first quarter of 2025, and the news was grim. Tesla’s net income was down 71% due to a sharp decline in automotive sales."

"It’s about the politicisation of the monetary-fiscal nexus under a Trumpian regime that is fundamentally hostile to the norms of liberal-democratic governance. When even the dollar is no longer a safe haven, what – or who – can be?"

"The IMF is warning of a non-negligible risk of a $1tn hit to global output, as Donald Trump’s erratic 'America first' agenda – part oligarchic enrichment scheme, part mobster shakedown – collides with a perfect storm of global financial vulnerabilities. ...

The real concern here is not technical dysfunction in treasury markets or the mechanics of the Fed, which are the bedrock of the global financial system."

"Wake up! When the most sober of global institutions, the International Monetary Fund, abandons its usual technocratic calm to sound the alarm on the political roots of global financial instability, it’s time to pay attention."

"Our standing in the world after threatening to attack our neighbors and allies, breaking our word on international agreements (including those negotiated by Trump first time around), and weakening international institutions hasn’t been lower since America emerged as a global power over 100 years ago. Trust in the U.S., a great source of our strength, is broken."

"Trump’s actions have caused what many in financial world are dubbing,
Sell USA.' Stocks, U.S. government bonds, and the U.S. dollar are all sliding at the same time—which is not typical. ... Would you invest in the stock market of a nation run by an autocrat like Orban or Russia?! That is how people increasingly see America from the outside."
