2025/04/03

Trump's Day of Liberation (the day of his big tariff announcement) has economists describing the plan as a “worse than the worse case scenario." The tariffs range from 10% to 49%. The higher tariffs went to countries Trump considers the “worst offenders” in trade relations. It's a bad sign for tech investors as companies like Apple and Nvidia will likely get slammed by the tariffs Trump is placing on China and Taiwan. Markets are already reacting severely.

The plan from a man who promised to uphold the constitution, appears unconstitutional in a number of ways.
