"CNBC’s Jim Cramer warned two weeks ago that Donald Trump was 'manufacturing' a recession with his potential massive tariffs. As Cramer correctly explained, history books tell us that the massive tariffs imposed in 1930 known as 'Smoot Hawley' by GOP President Herbert Hoover 'was a direct cause of the of the Depression.'”

And what did Trump do yesterday as the market crashed? Stelter quotes Jeff Zeleny on CNN: Trump did not "fly to a factory"; "he did not use the presidential bully pulpit to sort of sell this tariff plan." Instead, he flew to Florida for a LIV Golf event.

Brian Stelter points to an AP article in March drawing attention to these words of Trump last August:
"If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash, a 1929-style depression. 1929. When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom."

"Donald Trump’s decision on April 2 2025 to enact sweeping 'reciprocal' tariffs on US trade partners will go down as one of the greatest acts of self-harm in American economic history. They will wreak untold damage on households, businesses and financial markets across the world, upending a global economic order that America benefited from and helped to create."

C'est pas encore confirmé mais Politico en parle aujourd'hui :
"Elon Musk devrait quitter ses fonctions auprès du président américain dans les prochaines semaines. Donald Trump l’a fait savoir à sa garde rapprochée, dont plusieurs membres de son cabinet. Bien que le chef de l’Etat continue d’apprécier son travail, le multimilliardaire, à la tête du “département de l’efficacité gouvernementale”, est de plus en plus vu comme un allié encombrant par l’administration américaine et les deux hommes ont convenu que l’homme d’affaires devait retourner à ses affaires."

Tomorrow is going to be an epic stock crash.
Trump's tariffs have been placed on every country in the world except Russia and North Korea.
The stock market dropped by like $2T in the first 2 minutes of Trump's speech.
So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.
