I hate to be that guy, but can you prove that the market went down because of tariffs.
Yes, it reacted negatively to tariffs recently, but there was no new tariffs announcement preceding this particular drop.
The market is going down because it was being propped up by government money. It was fake production.
I see your first 2 months of being Argentina are doing... well, as expected to be honest.

Imagine thinking 4 years of constant padded and revised market reports were a true reflection of the economy.
NVDA was over half of all gains in 2024... like go take econ 101 at a CC.
You assume:
A. The root cause for the current sell off is tariffs and not the laundry list of macro indicators that are flashing red and have been doing so for months.
B. That Trump and his base aren't willing to burn the stock market as the first batch of kindling to remake
It’s only tech stocks crashing, which have been overvalued for years. This is nothing to do with tariffs
Exactly!
Tax American producers!
Don’t tax foreign producers!
Vote for your demise!
America last!
Vote Democrat!
Market had to go down anyway. Catalyst is arbitrary. Still tarrifs only make sense as a tool to pressure others to accept free markets.
But the best solution is still just taking all tarrifs s off. And then asking the same from others.
The obsession with “stock market number must always go up” is what keeps anything good from happening, plus it doesn’t stop the number from going down either.
1) Inflation is falling also, which does literally mean erasing dollars from the market.
2) Hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market is government spending/stealing
Stock market is going down to what it was about 3 months ago. Back when you said it was awesome.
a third of that image is enormous tech companies like nvidia, apple, google, meta. Their stocks are not exactly "stable" Look at their 1 and 5 year trend you can find several dips exactly like this one lol
How come tariffs are bad when the United States does it ? But perfectly fine not even note worth when ever other industrialized countries does it . Ooops your hypocrisy is showing !!!!!!
Are those the bodies of people who died because they got hooked on fentanyl after losing their middle class job at the steel mill?
Look at which stocks went down and which went up. Much more of this to come. And that's a good thing.
Just gotta wait 4 years then no one has to worry about trump in office, got a feelin with how social media does things nowadays it’ll be a long 4 years
In this analogy, what's actually tied to the tracks is profits for Berkshire Hathaway
Putin says it is all going to plan. Trump agrees. Europe is laughing.
At some point people are going to have to acknowledge that 'line go up forever' isn't a sustainable economic plan.
I voted for this dip.
The evolution of the trolley problem may perhaps be humankind's keystone achievement.
Hop off ! Going to have to be weaned . There is going to be crying and fit throwing but it is going to happen . 
The stock market has been propped up for decades. We know it's going to be pulled in desperate times of corruption being exposed. Try again.
The entire stock market was at $62.2 trillion. So it dropped $1.5T..? You mean a 2% drop?
Talk about paper hands.
Would need to see trends over time, how markets react to news is always

Trump’s Fracturing Coalition
In 2024, Trump rode an unlikely alliance to victory. Working-class populists and a small group of influential technocrats banded together to deliver a MAGA mandate.
This coalition swept Trump back into the White House. But months into his term, the

This is what a transition period looks like. We will rebuild it with American products, and bringing the jobs back to the states. It's a necessary dip.
You have a newsletter about economics yet think this is the only thing pushing down the stock market?
The stock market rallied for the second half of last year with the promise of interest rates being cut significantly in 2025
Now they’re only projecting 2 minor interest rate
rich people where the ones mostly hit. so why are you sad suddenly
We want the market to keep crashing so we can buy more!!! How hard is this
Those should be labelled ‘notional shareholder value’ because they aren’t people
Wrong how, exactly? Was anyone implying that tariffs had any short term benefit?
Everyone who is pro tariff, including Trump, understood this would negatively impact this stock market. This is absolutely necessary to one stop this impending actual bubble, and two, reduce interest rates as we will need to refinance part the US debt soon. This is short term
It could be a 4d chess move to lower the interest rates so that he can rehypothecate the national debt of 7 trillion before recovering the markets.
7T is a crippling amount of debt and the interest on that alone can bankrupt the USA.
I hope you understand that this is how it operates and in the end Trump would rather annex Canada.
You are getting hurt more and in he is leveraging you quitting first or falling apart.

Inflation rate has been halved since Inauguration Day.
Don't believe their lies.
Trust the plan.
Hopefully this short term pain leads to a stronger domestic industry. America won’t get those production numbers up without a fight. And with war being thrown around who want to be in a country that can’t produce shit
Fun fact this could mean deflation for the U.S by 2026. He’s been in office around 50 days. All he’s doing is putting you guys first and you hate him..
I love how Wallstreet billionaires and the stock market are evil capitalism until you can try to gift a point off of it
“Waaa my investments that have inflated to be insanely overvalued crashed a little bit!” Open your eyes to the value of tech stocks to the actual revenue/profit. Thinking that these would have sustained their insane price is your own mistake.
This by design - we have 7 trillion in debt coming up we must refinance. Drop the stocks - force bonds markets to go up and thus reduce the rates - and voila we refinance our debt cheap - and then stock market will explode 
i doubt he gives a shit if ppl think he's wrong, he's actively trying to run things into the ground
Why stop the trolley? It’s all part of the plan. He’s clearly doing this on purpose. He wants a recession.
Being right about tariffs means stock crash. The truth is the current system is bloated and healthy. Tariffs are a long term solution
Oh no, largest public companies and the financial grifting sector losing money.
How will we ever recover?
