Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, suggests a potential disconnect between Donald Trump's policies and stock market participation among his supporters. Hayes stated via X that a substantial portion of Trump's base doesn't own many financial assets. He believes this difference in financial standing influences perceptions of economic policy, particularly tariffs. Hayes argues Trump is confident in his support and believes he can aggressively pursue tariff policies, potentially prioritizing the perceived interests of non-stock owners. This strategy could stem from a belief that tariffs resonate more with those whose economic well-being isn't directly tied to market performance. While tariffs might offer some benefits to certain domestic industries, their broader impact can include increased consumer prices and potential trade wars, affecting the overall economy and potentially negating any gains for Trump's supporters. The long-term consequences of these policies warrant careful consideration. ```
