Time will tell on this one... The FED has absolutely no connection to the US Government at all, it's a private company that was created by the government at one point. The president has no power over them whatsoever.
The expected bull run sure didn't pan out so far, it not to say that it couldn't rematerialize later in the year. It does leave us crypto investors hoping for some profits in a bit of uncharted territory. The tariff thing will work it's way out, that doesn't worry me too much. What does worry me are the big unknowns. Will Iran test a nuclear weapon shortly? Will the US attack Iran? Will Iran nuke Tel Aviv? Will China use these distractions to try and take Taiwan?
The world is a mess, and it's a scary mess to be honest. I think the best we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best...
