It's not. SPY follows the S&amp;P500. Trump tweets tariffs, S&amp;P will go down, and SPY will follow suit.  
  
 You want to hold a put option (do not buy options for fucks sake else youll end up like the autists on this forum -- it's insanely dangerous financially -- can easily ruin your entire life, not joking) on SPY because if the price goes down, you make money. Price goes up, you lose (some) money.

can confirm that, lost about $1000 on options. Never again.
