Last week, Trump announced significant tariffs and advised calmness while suggesting he was intentionally creating market turmoil. Despite his insistence that tariffs would ultimately benefit the U.S., Americans worried about their dwindling 401(k)s and began purchasing high-cost items. The market opened poorly with the S&P 500 hitting bear territory but surged when rumors surfaced about a possible 90-day halt on tariffs toward all nations except China. Trump's unconventional strategies, including creating nicknames for detractors, are seen as central to his approach, influencing public reaction and market dynamics, highlighted by the severe market fluctuations.
