More hermeneutics, not overtly pro-Trump due to passive phrasings like:

> Tariffs were escalated very quickly to unsustainable levels,

Leaves off who, exactly, raised those tariffs. Tariffs are not forces of nature. Someone raided them.

Lyn Alden is an example of a person who thinks being contrarian for the sake of contrarianism makes them look smart.
I'm not familiar with Alden, so tell me more?

Most investment managers go against the flow in the some way, that's what "alpha" is all about. If you want average returns, buy Vanguard ETFs and just track the market.

It's investment advice, not politics. She's telling you what she thinks is happening in the economy and where you should put your money to profit off it, not trying to convince Trump of the error of his ways.
