We are bound to hear a ton of updates as the debate plays out, so I'll update highlights and comments below as it plays out, I'll be sticking to things that are more specific to markets as much as possible (sigh):

  • Trump says planned tariffs will decrease deficits and won't increase problematic inflation
  • Trump says China has been robbing us for years, and imposing tariffs on them is fair
  • Trump says he would have the Russia/Ukraine war settled before he takes office
