The bond market may be signaling something worse than a recession: Distrust in America

This article asks us to consider whether the President's management style may be causing global markets to start attaching a price to a changing view of the United States.......

....what if the bond market's apparent malaise, the deepest curve inversion since 2007 (remember what happened then?) were signaling something darker and potentially longer lasting than a turn in the business cycle?
Indeed, the yield curve's alarm bells may be global markets' awkward attempt to put a price on the rapid loss of an intangible but deeply valuable asset: global trust in the United States as a trading partner and more generally as a leader in the pursuit of democracy and human rights.

Thanks @davfor
Likely part of the equation in current investing sectors; for those having concerns with the direction of our country's path forward.

How can any other country trust the United States when our international relations policy can change overnight according to the whim of someone whose main source of "information" is Faux "news"? We could ask Canada and Mexico about that...
