Why Trump isn't worried about a weaker dollar as markets (and the ECB) grow uneasy

as it has little or nothing to do with the economic cycle: it is the financial world's response to the global order proposed by the U.S. president, whose first commandment (or second, depending on the day) is to limit risk. And from political fragmentation and the speed at which it is unfolding a different financial world is emerging, one in which the dollar and the U.S. have lost part of their aura of exceptionalism.

Once Again, US Ratchets Up Rhetoric Against Pakistan

Then came exchanges of bluster over the US unilateral action that took out Osama bin Laden. Now, the target of US ire is the cozy relationship between the Haqqani network and Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI.
