Multiple voices say the move failed as yields rose to new YTD highs and the market “called his bluff,” implying he’ll be forced to do more or has limited tools without money creation 157810. Some urge taking him seriously or note his broader fiscal plan, but most tone is skeptical and mocking, including riffs on the “house” metaphor and references to bond market dynamics and external sellers like Japan 39131519.
