    The Tarriff Hype.

    Speaking at the White House, Trump said: “We think we’re in very good shape. We think we’re doing very well. Again there will be a transition cost, transition problems, but in the end it’s going to be a beautiful thing.” http://apple.news/AyCbOUTTpT6-mmrohKVu_FQ The market seems to be in a state...

    Shortly after US markets opened on Wednesday morning, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT”. Less than four hours later, he shocked investors by announcing a 90-day pause on additional trade tariffs on most countries except China, sending...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Asked why White House aides had been insisting for weeks that the tariffs were not part of a negotiation, Trump said: “A lot of times, it’s not a negotiation until it is.” There’s the consistency for businesses to plan around. Stock markets, etc…

    On Monday, federal officials released information showing that China was “targeting” Carney with an information campaign.

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.
