"Trump is now starting to throw populist spaghetti against the wall"

With his job-approval rate hitting new lows, US president Donald Trump is pulling out every stop to avoid defeat in Congressional midterm elections in November.

After six weeks that included military intervention in Venezuela and the threat of tariff hikes on European countries unless they agreed to the forced sale of Greenland, investors are asking what could happen next. Will Trump order an attack on Iran, walk away from the UMCA, step up pressure on the Federal Reserve, or act on his national security strategy for regime change in Europe?

To discuss what lies ahead between now and the midterms, Medley Advisors brought together Michael Redmond ("Fed watcher"), Dan Schwartz (EA Head of Macro Markets) and Daniel Sternoff (EA Head of Executive Briefing).

"Do we see more Greenlands and Venezuelas and so forth?" says Sternoff. "It's important to point out that Trump's main focus is of course, domestic, not international, even though he's hyperactive internationally ... One of the biggest motivations of American unhappiness is affordability and cost of living concerns and so Trump is now starting to throw populist spaghetti against the wall in a wave of initiatives ... It says a lot about where his head is". 

The speakers, in order, are Tim Jones, Daniel Sternoff, Michael Redmond, Fernando Posadas, and Dan Schwartz.
