[Edited to 03/10 realities]

There is, for some reason, a global intellectual mindset that #DonaldTrump is some sort of god tier, twelve-dimensional chess player and that his tactics are beyond the understanding of mere humans

#GlobalFinancialMarkets seem to be particularly enamored of this viewpoint, even though it's clearly hallucinatory

#Trump is nothing more than a profoundly disturbed, acute narcissist and a demonstrated, serial, pathological liar

Trump has the attention span of a goldfish and merely leaps to the last thing the last #TrumpWhisperer said to him before they left the room

Global Financial Markets need to come up to speed, and quickly

Trump is *not* what they want to think he is
