Nixon actually intentionally used this "madman persona" during the Vietnam War as a calculated strategy. it was called the Mad Man theory. The goal was to make enemies believe he was unstable enough to do anything. is Trump doing that? or is he really truly bat shit mental?

​We all know he is manipulating markets, but what could have been his intentions yesterday? is it intentional mixed signal? intentional mad man?

​there is a part of me that think that in his narcissism, he actually intended to boost the markets. He tried to manufacture a high by affirming the war will only last two weeks. On paper, a 14-day deadline for peace ought to be good news for the market, no?

​But I think...in his madness, he failed to do so.

pivotting to his stone age rhetoric and telling his allies to fend for themselves at the Strait. obviously he is obsessed with stock market scoreboard but is too unstable to stay on message long enough. What are your thoughts?
