Once upon a time, I looked forward to my Sunday newspaper. Now I look forward to your email. So much great info here that people should be aware but will likely never be as MSM will never report anything that might help Trump. The tariffs are a huge gamble and as you've pointed out may have been better done after other priorities were accomplished. And for those of us in the lower or fixed income brackets, it's damn scary in the moment. Hoping the extreme anchor works! Thanks again for the great info

Thank you Tom. It is bold, but also necessary to some degree. The other option is to watch our entitlement programs and overall budget be eclipsed with deep cuts to keep paying interest on the ever rising debt. It's a disgrace it ever got this bad, but I'm thankful someone is willing to try to address it.

The first fair and balanced commentary I've seen on the tariffs. I fear you may have put your finger on it with this though "Liberation Day may go down as the boldest move of our lifetime—or the one that dooms Trump’s presidency in a society unaccustomed to sacrifice." Thanks again for your weekly articles, I always look forward to them.

Thanks Mitch! It's a grand experiment for sure. I feel slightly more confidence knowing Trump has tremendous instincts, one of the best economic teams ever assembled, and the ability to pivot when necessary.

Yup, Biden's fault the market crashed. And Obama. $5T of wealth gone. We voted for this!

Stock crash is fighting inflation. Less money for everyone. Recession coming? Even better. Are the factories here yet? I want me one of those sneaker making factory jobs. Tariffs mean $5000 iPhones? Make Inflation Great Again.
