Okay, so Trump just slapped some serious tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. We're talking 25% on almost everything from our neighbors and 10% on Chinese goods. He signed the orders down in Florida, and apparently, they've got a clause to retaliate if anyone tries to tariff us back. He's saying this is about stopping migrants and drugs coming from Mexico and Canada, and punishing China for the fentanyl trade. He's not really interested in negotiating and thinks companies should just move their factories here to avoid the tariffs. Everyone's worried this could start a full-blown trade war, since these countries are our biggest trading partners. They supply a ton of stuff we use every day, like cars and electronics. Of course, they're promising to hit back with their own tariffs on American goods. Canada's already talking about taxing things like Florida orange juice and Kentucky peanut butter – targeting states that voted for Trump. Some business owners are happy, thinking it'll help American manufacturers. One guy I read about, Zach Mottl, who runs a metal factory, thinks it's a "bold" move to fix past trade issues. But others, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are saying it's going to hurt companies that rely on global supply chains. They say a lot of what we import are materials that American manufacturers need. The thing is, Canada and Mexico really depend on trade with us. They send about 80% of their exports here. They've been trying to talk Trump out of this by promising to do better on border security. One Canadian official even suggested targeting Tesla with tariffs, since Elon Musk is tight with Trump. It's weird because we already have a free trade agreement with these countries, the USMCA. But Trump's arguing that he can do this for "national security" reasons. The real problem is that our economies are so linked. A lot of products are made with parts that cross the borders multiple times. So tariffs could really mess things up. And if companies pass the cost of these tariffs onto consumers, we're all going to be paying more for everything. One economist estimated it could cost the average American family over $3,000 a year. Trump doesn't seem to care. He's been talking about doing this for a while, saying tariffs bring in money and force other countries to do what we want. He even hinted at more tariffs on Europe, chips, oil, gas, steel, and aluminum. His economic advisors are trying to downplay the impact on consumers, saying that overall, the American economy will be better off. We'll see.

This is gonna hurt American consumers at the end of the day. Yes sure some of the smaller Canadian, Mexican and Chinese companies will suffer. But the big ones have products that are never gonna get produced in the United States cheaper than they already are. So this is literally just a price increase and these countries will respond.

The U.S. should impose maximum tariffs on China due to its use of forced labor, child exploitation, and extreme poverty wages. With 5.77 million in modern slavery, 7.74% of children working under harsh conditions, and 600 million people living on less than $140 per month, China's practices undercut ethical trade. Tariffs would pressure China to reform, protect U.S. jobs, and uphold moral standards.

Fully invested? Buy every dip? You have had amazing success in the last years for sure.

Is this time different? Who knows, things can change in a day with this administration.

This interview gives a good indication of what possible hedges and solutions can do in an increased volatility environment.

I've personally taken some money of the table, because I don't like the unpredictability of it right now.

Serious question... I read all this and am honestly concerned. I'm surprised that others (aside from many here) aren't equally concerned. This includes the market.

If the situation was truly gloomy, wouldn't the market be freaked out before now? Does the market feel that this is all bluster or will have little impact in the short term?

Surely there are a lot of wealthy and influential people on the other side of the political spectrum who would be less than pleased if things go sideways... but I hear nothing. It's hard to believe every single one of them would be silent, or that they all agree with the current policies. So if the markets aren't reacting, what is balancing it?
