“Markets are strong” – Are they really?

64
President Trump recently stated that "markets became very strong once they got used to tariffs."
But let’s look at the facts:

📊 SPY is down -9% YTD, and major names like:

MSFT: -7.55%

AAPL: -18.66%

NVDA: -12.94%

Tech is bleeding, and the broader S&P 500 is clearly reflecting the pressure of trade policy uncertainty.

🟥 Tariffs = market stress
🟩 Market resilience = not the same as strength

What we’re seeing is not a “strong market” — it’s a market under pressure trying to survive political noise. The weekly chart shows a clear drop after the peak, followed by uncertainty, not conviction.

💭 Is this truly the “strength” investors want to see?
