I read a New York Times Opinion on my ferry ride to “Baby Land” and was surprised at how confident I feel. I’ve shared my thoughts in the video.
Suffice to say, I am having a very different reaction to current market/tariff events compared to “midnight blue” people determined to hate the leadership offered by America’s democratically elected President and his administration.
If you, too, understand, American Strength Matters, be NOT ashamed! You are not alone!
Here’s the quote:
“Yesterday, the S&P 500 closed down 10 percent from where it was at the start of the month. It briefly entered bear-market territory. European and Asian indexes are also down since April 1.”
And…
“The chaos began, of course, with President Trump’s tariffs. International leaders are now seeking reprieves from the president. More than 50 nations have contacted the White House to negotiate, the administration claims. Israel’s prime minister came to Washington yesterday in search of a deal.
The situation is unusual in that it’s entirely in Trump’s hands. The president can usually influence, but rarely control, economic challenges — a bank collapse, a housing bubble, a pandemic. In the current market rout, Trump is the cause. He imposed the tariffs, and he decides when they go.
So world leaders have one place to turn. Today’s newsletter looks at their efforts to persuade Trump and whether they’re likely to succeed.”
The rest of the article, written by German Lopez, New York Times writer for The Morning — goes into his opinions:
