Looks like the MSM is up to its old tricks again.

Never mind the lousy job reports.
Never mind that the Biden inflation is proving difficult to control.
Oh, and don't tell us the bond market rallied. "After" China imposed a 34% tariff on American goods, right?
It seems to me people should listen to Warren Buffet. Who isn't exactly a Trump lover.
"Keep your head if you're spooked by tariffs".
The tariffs are having exactly the effect they were intended to have.
And corporate America is pissed. Boy are they pissed.
But look what just happened. Money moved out of stocks, and into bonds. The money didn't just disappear, it only changed its address. No one removed any money from the markets. Investors didn't stop investing.
The net effect of this move is corporations will have a harder time getting bank loans. Which means they'll have to issue bonds. Which is where the money is, now.
The leftard MSM is doing exactly what leftards do, trying to create a crisis where none exists. This move by President Trump will bring our debt service back down to an almost manageable level. It'll only be painful to the consumer for a very short time.
The markets were due for a correction anyway. They were top heavy on the arbitrage. The flip side of it is the corporations will have to perform if they want to stay in business.
Ultimately, this is about far more than a few dollars. It's about China building fake islands and harassing the Philippines and Taiwan and everyone else in the area. You'll notice DOGE hasn't stopped any defense programs yet. Instead we get Iron Dome V2. And Greenland lol.
Nixon is the guy that started this. Or really it was Henry Kissinger, who was crafty and shrewd. I always used to think he must have had an exit strategy, because he could surely see where this was headed even if he didn't appreciate the full magnitude of it.
There's an acute reality behind every one of President Trump's moves, they're perfectly logical. Yes, they'll put stress on everyone from corporations to consumers. It's time America got a little less lazy. We have the most productive workers in the world, and yet we spend our politicoeconomic capital on DEI. And grease of various kinds.
The markets? Your 401k will probably take a hit, unless you used the minimal risk maximum safety plan. You're funding a move back to self sufficiency, which is where we were a hundred years ago, and where we could be again, for the most part. The globalists don't like it, the Chinese don't like it, the lazy-ass Democrats are practically apoplectic, but at the end of the day the move is strategic and it's the right move.
Corporate America gets it. They're not stupid. They're unhappy, but they're not naive. How many in the Fortune 500 just shit canned their DEI programs? Dozens. Maybe even hundreds. They get it. They're on board even if they're grumbling.
The reality is Wall Street was overextended on its credit cards, just like most American consumers. Corporations that do this kind of thing suddenly find themselves unable to meet their payroll. Talk about chaos - when you buy a stock you own part of the company, and these days the ownership changes every 15 minutes. All this could benefit from a little regulation, and I mean that in the old fashioned sense of "make regular".
MSM is trying to sell us a pack of lies. As usual. They've become a mockery of themselves. There's no news anymore, it's just a gigantic infomercial.

Donald Trump's tariffs have shaken the markets - how worried should we be?
Workers are right to fear for their pensions, but the greater worry is the here and now - the economy they live in.

As stock market continues plummeting over tariffs, Trump spends the day at his golf course
President Donald Trump says his trade policies will never change despite sending the global economy into a tailspin by announcing tariffs on foreign imports.

Never mind the lousy job reports.
Never mind that the Biden inflation is proving difficult to control.
