Given the last 19 months of tariff chaos while Republicans control all branches of government, I don't see any reason to think they're concerned about that.

Plus the whole "assassinate the Iranian president in the middle of negotiations to start a war across a major global trade-route" thing.

I dont know. Stock market claps and absorb everything these do happily.
