That's not what a bookie charges. It's more along the lines of a mob boss or loan shark.

All while it's CHINA'S economy that is taking the hit. They've quietly removed tariffs on quite a few things as they've suffered massive layoffs the last few weeks. Their unemployment rate was already over 10% and it's only gotten worse. Even the Atlanta Fed has predicted that Q2 should look good for America, as well as an expected revision upward for Q1. Good times are coming, yet it seems a lot of people would rather complain about one man as they get left behind

Failing????
The impact on consumer goods has barely started.
Any economic model takes at least a few months minimum to see initial results, which may be misleading, as those are initial results.

Default Tariff Trump sees the light....?

Most all tariffs back to 10%.


Thankful the administration has some people that understand tariffs, and have not been fired yet.

Right now he is only 1,800 Dow points from getting everyone's 401k back.


Except those who panicked and sold.......


Another 90 days to see what tariffs may end up to be. 90 more days of uncertainty for business people.

All the tariff pressure and midnight Truth Social posts are taking their toll.

Doesn’t it seem like we’re back where we started at?

What exactly did Trump accomplish?
