This is the economic policy equivalent of the Treasury Secretary telling his mistresses that he's finally leaving his "crazy wife."

Bloomberg @business

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a closed-door investor summit Tuesday that the tariff standoff with China is unsustainable and that he expects the situation to de-escalate. https://t.co/yXbr5kBbrV

What if we just keep the money we send to the Federal Government so you can focus on keeping planes in the sky while we take care of this ourselves?

Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy

The federal government sends billions to New York—but we won’t foot the bill if the state continues to implement an illegal toll to backfill the budget of New York’s failing transit system.

Mike Mayo going right at Jamie to try to make news. Mayo4Eva

Jamie is really trying to let Barnum take the macro/political questions, but he also can't help himself. And he's being very careful about not threatening a very specific fragile ego that might be paying attention. $JPM

A lot is going to be made of $JPM building net reserves by almost $1 billion, but true Dimonologists know that Jamie always puts way more money in the safe than he thinks he needs and then raises guidance on net income. https://t.co/2Va1CGmTNe

Bank CEOs are really bending over backwards this morning to not explicitly mention the Trump administration while acknowledging the chaos in the economy and markets.
