"President Trump was adamant that Congress cut payroll taxes — until, suddenly, he backed down.
He demanded that all of the nation’s schools reopen for the fall semester — until, suddenly, he allowed for some wiggle room.

He insisted upon filling every seat at the Republican National Convention celebration — until, suddenly, he canceled the event. And he refused to wear a mask in public — until, suddenly, he did, and morphed into a mask evangelist.
For Trump, this has been a week of retreat. Rather than bending others to his will, the president has been the one backing down from long-held positions in the face of resistance from fellow Republicans or popular opposition, scrambling to reinvigorate his reelection campaign while the coronavirus continues to ravage the nation.

Weakened politically by his response to the pandemic, Trump changed course after polls showed his positions did not align with public attitudes or — as was the case with the payroll tax cut — his Republican allies on Capitol Hill declined to advance his interests."

only 100 days until election, how much worst can it get ?

One more week until a the majority of the money movers on Wall Street go on vacation for August.
They tend to let the junior executives run the system until Labor Day.
Expect some wild rides in August.
