What is Trump’s fatal conceit?
He can never admit when he is wrong.
One need only look at how he kept talking about how great Operation Warp Speed was when even his own supporters would jeer it.
He has been talking about tariffs for a year, and has finally implemented them but if they don’t work out as he expects, do you really think he’s going to admit that and change course?
Does any politician? lol
Fair lol
The difference is others won’t necessarily admit they were wrong but they will pivot quietly - Trump won’t do that.
Once he has set the course, the only way out is through.
His ego is huge, he wont admit shit
Yeah correct.
That can at times be a very useful quality and at other times it’s a major major flaw.
I don’t think we’re going to see a worst case scenario here but even any scenario on the negative end of the spectrum which would require reversing course could be disastrous because of his ego and inability to admit failings.
Humans can’t trust humans. Especially not politicians 😅. That’s why we verify 🧡🗽
I hear these points made a lot by Europeans as well. It seems like we get very worried about public appearance over substance. He pivots all the time and he’s just negotiating.
Also he’s been talking tarrifs since the 80’s if I’m not mistaken. Let’s see what happens but it looks to me like it’s going pretty much the way he wanted to. Isn’t he going to save trillions with the refinancing rates he can lock in the coming months?
I’m not sure anyone can say “it’s going pretty much the way he wanted to” when the list was clearly knocked up last minute using ChatGPT.
Sure, let’s see what happens, but let’s not pretend this is some decades long plan and 4D chess either.

I don’t know and probably will never know what was the signal and the noise. I just don’t see the flaw you describe and how it would be fatal. Not important - have a great day!
