Is it fair to say:
I'm no economist, but it seems like most people agree Tariffs are bad for the stock market. This isn't a republican or democratic point. This is a practical point. "Stocks dip on fear of tariffs" seems common.

Is it fair to say:
- Trump is a guy who puts "winning" on a pedestal?
- For better or for worse, Trump will do almost anything to "win" and gain approval from his supporters?
- "Winning" for Trump is seen as a Strong Economy.
- Trump is a "scoreboard" kind of guy.
- The Stock Market is seen as one of Trump's scoreboards for the economy.
