"The Conf Board's consumer confidence index dropped in Mar to -lowest level since Jan 2021. Trump's pres.: Americans as pessimistic as they were during: Covid crisis. Consumer inflation expectations⬆️6.2% in Mar.

The potential to more than double the scope of #Trump’s #tariffs has alarmed economists & some congressional #Republicans, while other WH allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new #import #tax regime. The precise nature of these new duties has spurred extensive discussions at the highest levels of the admin, w/VP #JDVance, #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick, WH aide #PeterNavarro & #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent all playing a role in the talks….

White House aides prep new #tariffs on imports worth trillions for April 2, laying the groundwork for an escalation in global economic hostilities that #Trump has called “Liberation Day.”
The admin has already unnerved investors with duties on #Canada, #Mexico & #China, & yet, advisers are readying a move to dwarf all previous tariffs.

"The richest man in the world, whose empire is built on billions of taxpayer subsidies, spent at least $260 million to get Trump elected, and is now using Trump to advertise his car company from the White House in exchange for potentially even more money to benefit Trump’s political ambitions.
There are no words for how sick and perverse this all is."

This week's comic: Playing the wealth card
#cartoon #comic #billionaires #uspol #oligarchy #authoritarianism #economy
The world’s most widely followed #StockMarket benchmark slid into a correction on Thurs, a drop that underscores how the 2-yr-long bull market [#Bidenomics] is running out of steam in the early days of the #Trump admin.
The move stems from investors’ growing pessimism about the whipsawing policy pronouncements from Trump over the past few weeks. On-again, off-again #tariffs & #MassLayoffs of #FederalWorkers have fomented unease on #WallStreet.

"Reading and watching the dutiful daily coverage of Trump’s trade war, you might well have no idea just how crazy it is.
The reality is this: There’s no good reason for it, it hurts everyone, and it’s arguably going to tank the American and international economies."

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save
