Stephanie Ruhle Speaks Out on Market Instability and America’s Global Standing 

Read in Russian

Recently, Stephanie Ruhle — American television host of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle and NBC News Senior Business Analyst — delivered a sharp, concise, and compelling statement on the current administration’s influence on the stock market and the broader perception of the United States on the global stage. 

Stephanie’s career in finance began right here in Boston, Massachusetts, when she joined Credit Suisse First Boston, where she spent six years working in hedge fund sales. During that time, she rose to the position of vice president and became the highest-producing credit derivatives salesperson in the United States.

Her recent remarks were brief but packed with insight — precise, pointed, and delivered with the clarity of a seasoned financial professional. For anyone following the intersection of politics, markets, and America’s international image, her speech is well worth the attention. 

“Here’s what I want to say. 

It has been over a week since this trade disaster began, and I have spent that week speaking to investors here and abroad. And what I feel most tonight is scared — scared that what we are facing is a crisis of confidence. Confidence in us, the United States of America. 

And what I have not heard from any of the people that I speak to is exactly what might restore that confidence in the United States — at least not right now. 

Yes, the markets rallied yesterday, but that is only because we avoided the 50-plus percent tariffs across the globe. But the reality has set in today, because we still have the rest of these tariffs. And the markets continue to sink — both the bond and stock market — in part because the basis by which we’re negotiating trade is not rooted in truth. 

And for those who believe countries are scrambling to make a deal because they were so panicked about the enormous tariffs — and now they’re much lower — my question is: What is that deal? 

What do you think the likes of Vietnam can do to erase our trade deficit? You know what the answer is — they can’t. 

And if you want to onshore all of our manufacturing — that’s if you want to do that — what Peter Navarro talked about, what Howard Let me talk about… You want to do that? It will take trillions of dollars and 20 years to reconfigure the global supply chain and bring it all home. 

And for our allies in the West — those developed countries — they are certainly not rushing to partner back up with us now, with a U.S. president who goes on national TV laughing, saying ”they’re all kissing my ass.” 

It is safe to say that the perch we and our notion of American exceptionalism sat on, even a few months ago, has certainly been lowered. 

We’ve got an Agriculture Secretary who tells us to build a chicken coop in your backyard because eggs are expensive. 

We have a Defense Secretary sharing military secrets in a group chat. 

We are potentially lawlessly firing thousands of federal workers and defunding science while we buy crypto. 

We have lost an enormous amount of credibility and trust. 

But what scares me is that every investor I speak to — even some who support this president — has given me the same message: 

If the bond market continues to drop and drop and drop — you know where it goes. 

It bankrupts the country. 

Something Donald Trump knows a lot about.“
