Summary
The Wall Street Journal slammed Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as “the dumbest” move, warning they harm allies, not adversaries.
The editorial suggested retaliation could pressure Trump to reverse course. The stock market reacted negatively, showing concerns about Trump’s economic policies in a second term.
The Journal also recently criticized Trump’s stance on Ukraine, U.S. withdrawal from Europe, and his sovereign wealth fund plans, highlighting broader worries about his policy direction.

I fully expect that if Jesus does return, my high-yield bonds would increase in value basically overnight… right?
Yes, but your wine futures would be worthless, what with his unlimited water-to-wine abilities.
I mean, if you can take water and turn it into wine it’s very very cheap so I figure it probably taste like yellowtail…
