In an earlier post, when the Trump tariffs tanked the stock market, we suggested that the tanking might have more of an effect to "adjust" current policy than the various protests which recently took place.* There were lots of news reports that the president didn't care about the financial markets. But apparently, he does care.
What does that mean for the university? We don't have a lever comparable to the stock market. And, indeed, there may be an attempt to shift attention away from the tariff turmoil to something else. We could be the something else. So, as we said earlier today, let's not hand the folks in DC a hammer.**
