It seems DOGE is all smoke and mirrors:
They need to cut cost, but they can’t actually do it, DOGE or not.

Confirmation now that the treasury selloff triggered the pause…
“The bond market is very tricky, I was watching it,” Trump told reporters. “The bond market right now is beautiful. But yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.” Sitting in the Oval Office to tap out his announcement, Trump was joined by two advisers who had become dueling faces of the tariff plan: Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “We didn’t have access to lawyers or – it was just wrote up. We wrote it up from our hearts, right? It was written from the heart, and I think it was well written too, but it was written from the heart,” Trump said afterward, describing a process driven more by impulse than mapped-out strategy.
We and our retirement portfolios are in good hands

After the pump and dump, the new dump and pump scheme.
I would be interested how many of his friends bought stocks before the announcement (of course through some screen companies on the Bahamas or similar).

Even as Trump calmed the markets – for now, at least – he also raised new questions by suggesting he would consider exempting some US companies from tariffs, saying he would make any such decisions “instinctively.”
Yeah. I’m sure after attending a $1m dinner and making suitable donations, your company too could be exempt.
US finances were already in a bad state and this latest episode does nothing to help.
Weak auction could be the early sign that borrowing costs are going to rapidly increase for the US as investors get increasingly more concerned.
Forget about DOGE savings, rises in interest rates on government borrowing are going to far outweigh anything else.
“This was driven by the President’s strategy. He and I had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy all along,” Bessent said on Wednesday.
as if they had any kind of coherent strategy. The amount of BS these guys are coming up with the explain nonsensical moves from tariffs on penguin island to panicking when you realised your great tariff ideas has the potential to send the US into a new Great Depression.

You missed the Orange Crash.
To be honest, I don’t like the development of the USD today. It feels like the damage caused (either by the insecurity or the 10% remaining tarifs) was bigger than I anticipated yesterday. To be honest, I have a strange feeling that we will be back in a negative scenario faster than originally anticipated. Its not yet over, my friends… It will be interesting to see how the Treasury Bond Yields will react this afternoon; I fear no good latest by about tomorrow already.
As long as China and US trade is tariffed this much. We will be in the shitter
