In a matter of hours, investors on social media can swing from doomsday predictions to breathless euphoria.

This “pendulum effect” has grown even more pronounced in the face of global trade upheaval and a fracturing U.S. policy landscape.

We see it in real-time on X (formerly Twitter), where one moment everyone is bracing for an epic crash, and the next, they’re mocking those same fears as overblown.

If you assess it with a critical and rational mind, it’s really quite ridiculous…

But beyond the daily market volatility, these emotional swings could hint at something bigger: a slow erosion of what once made the United States the unassailable beacon of stability and growth.

Below, I’ll explore why this pendulum effect is so prevalent, how “Trumpism” has challenged core pillars of U.S. exceptionalism, and what might happen if the world’s largest economy loses some of its structural advantages—like the so-called “exorbitant privilege” of issuing the global reserve currency.
