Opinion | The Dollar's Rise Isn't a Vote of Confidence in Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The dollar's rise makes foreign goods less expensive, so it offsets some of the effect of the tariffs, which won't make Trump and his economic advisers happy.
51% : There's a long chain of causality from Trump's victory to the dollar's rise, which might seem convoluted to the average voter but is instantly recognizable to professionals in the financial markets, and it has nothing to do with betting that Trump will be a good steward of the U.S. economy (although certainly some on Wall Street do believe that he will be).
34% : Here's the chain: The dollar rose mainly because Trump has promised to raise tariffs sharply.
