Did Trump's tariff scare start a bear market?

[BartenderElite]

The market is down around 700 points this week. Stock futures took a nosedive right after Trump announced the tariffs - which is likely why he retreated from them as quickly as he could when the week started.

But if there is one thing investors don't like, it's uncertainty. The tariffs were put "on hold," and the sudden nature of the announcement - along w/ some of Trump's other actions in his 1st few weeks - reminded them that a Trump administration is more aligned w/ chaos than stability.

I have a hunch that people might miss that horrible Biden economy - where 16 million jobs were added, and the market broke records. Republicans always seem to mess it up.

There will be wild swings up and down as trump causes trouble. The swings down will probably be bigger than the swings up, but that will probably be masked by the high inflation. It is a bad time.

And investors listen to top economists a lot of the time and when they say that Trumps tariffs could cause very high " inflation " ( on PURPOSE ) driving up prices on just about everything we buy , causing people to be laid off and driving us into a deep recession / depression, investors get jittery and it shows in the market.
Trumps tariffs would be very bad for this country and the world.

What would cause upswings? Tariffs are crippling to the economy and a president as ignorant of economics as he is. is poisoning the economy for 4 years.

trump will announce a $10 trillion investment in industry, there will be an upswing. he will forget within minutes he ever announced it, and will do nothing to actually get the money, there will be a bigger downswing.

It is almost certain there will be double digit inflation, so everything will appear to be shifted up by 10%(per year). If trump is alive 4 years from now, he will be pointing to the Dow rising by 20%, forgetting to mention that the money lost 40% of its value.

And the tariffs are not alone. he is talking about retaliation taxes on countries that impose top up tariffs against tax havens. It is highly technical, and highly insane.

The American people do not care what you think, Walter.

The MSM has no credibility either.

You lost, Walter, stop whining and get over it, Walter.

The American people definitely care about the economy... At least most of them do.

They will NEVER forgive you for what you are doing now. This may be the death of the Republican Party.

Earl, better hurry up and invest everything you can before that money hits the market.
