Trump's sudden tariff announcements sent markets into a tailspin, with major indexes dropping significantly before a partial recovery following his 90-day postponement. Stacy Johnson expresses deep frustration that one person can move markets by trillions with a single tweet. The 145% tariff on Chinese goods threatens to create essentially a trade embargo with America's largest trading partner. Economists remain divided on trade deficits, but the inconsistent policy approach has paralyzed business planning and investment decisions. Johnson advises against panic selling but acknowledges he's freezing new investments until there's more clarity. The podcast explores how domestic manufacturing would increase consumer prices, with American auto workers earning $70/hour versus $6/hour in Mexico. Canadian tourism to the US has dropped 40% as international allies feel alienated by Trump's trade stance.
