By pulling back on tariffs, Trump has given up on his nationalist strategy, some say. On the contrary: he's just getting started. And, under the new nationalist paradigm, the market, including the stock market, must serve the interests of the whole nation, not just investors.

The statement discusses the impact of President Trump's tariff decisions on the stock market and his nationalist agenda. It engages in public discourse by addressing economic policy and its implications. The tone is analytical, focusing on the potential shift in Trump's strategy and its effects on national and investor interests.
