The market and trump do not work on mechanistic causation but via emergence from information pricing. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1214045055243051008?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1214045055243051008 …
As in, hurricanes are not “caused” by individual gusts of wind lining up but heat and now pressure regions. In a way, Trump *is* the notional “rogue field commander” envisioned in brinkmanship scenarios. He just happens to be at the top. Brinkmanship in the core.
