The problem: the pause of President Trump of larger tariffs in some countries for 90 days after the chaos of the stock market.
It’s like what President Trump said: “Someone had to do it” (“” Yippy “… a Yippee!” April 10).
The pause, which resulted from numerous countries that seek negotiation, is proof that their plan is effective.
When we accept to adopt the global economy model of the World Trade Organization, I do not believe that tens of thousands of plant closures and those works were sent to foreign countries were what we expected.
This is a good way to fix imbalances in the commercial agreements that have existed for decades.
There are so many benefits in Trump’s approach, such as stopping cheap labor and giving us the opportunity to restore our middle class with manufacturing work.
I am from a middle class family, and all the works of my dad, ranging from automotive to plant manager, were closed and sent abroad.
The moment is now!

Trump demonstrates again that he understands the art of the agreement.
Many people thought that tariffs were going to bank in the bankruptcy of our nation, but suspended larger tarangs in many countries for 90 days.
President Trump made a change and the stock market recovered.
Who knew that would happen?
Trump did.
He knew what he was doing and proved to be a good player, and his tariffs worked for the good of the country.
Our nation is really lucky to have Trump as our president.
I say, Bravo Trump.

When Trump becomes “my policies will never change” to “you have to have flexibility” in a week, does that do it more like the government (fictional!) In the novel “1984” by George Orwell stating that “war is the furniture”, “freedom”?
Or does it make it what Elon Musk would call a “fool”?

On Tuesday, the stock market recovered, until Trump opened his mouth and announced a 100% tariff on China (Althegh, who knows how high the rates will be the moment when this was published).
Someone needs to smoke it.
I have been a strong supporter of Trump, but he needs to calm down.

Every time Trump says “rates”, the stock market is immersed in the nose. And every time he orders a roast on tariffs, stocks rise.
It is necessary to ensure that the president’s family, the members of the cabinet, those appointed and the members of the Congress do not benefit from the privileged information.
What if it requires more dissemination on its investments in the shares market converted by Trump’s presidency?
We need stronger laws to avoid children’s trade or privileged information.
Trump has the ability to make his internal circle very rich for his actions.
Is the manipulation of the market actions of uncertain and erratic decisions of the president to help his friends?

Glenn Reynolds says that tariffs could increase manufacturing (“Trump’s economic shaking is a shock for the system, which could be worth it,” April 7).
But tariffs also increase the cost of raw material manufacturers, which makes it more difficult for them to grow.
The previous tariffs on steel and aluminum cost us 75,000 jobs in industries that depend on these materials, while the United States steel sector obtained only 1,000 jobs in return.

Trump seems oblivious to John Nash’s theory, so he won the Nobel Prize in Economics.
The prosperity of the United States depends not only on our actions, but also on those of the nations with which we trade. Unilateral policies won people: they confused them.

One of the key platforms in which Trump campaigned in 2024 was the increase in tariffs.
This is why 77 million Americans voted.
