WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump offered a rosy assessment after the stock market dropped sharply Thursday over his tariffs, saying, “I think it’s going very well.”
“The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom,” he said when asked about the market as he left the White House to fly to one of his Florida golf clubs.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,600 points on Thursday as U.S. stocks led a worldwide selloff after the Republican president’s announcement of tariffs against much of the world ignited a shock like none seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is a reason he set the 5th as the worst of his tariffs to hit. No trading. Monday morning is when the shit hits the fan.
Wtf, there are more coming??
These were just the ones that effect the auto industry and stuff like that. The really massive ones hit Saturday. Those are the ones that will destroy small businesses and farms.
Seriously?! The market is already shitting its pants. I didn’t know there was a second wave of tariffs coming.
Can you handle the winning?!
