Friend,

This is all just so painfully predictable.

Tariffs on, tariffs off.

Market up, market down.

Elon happy, Elon attacking his coworkers on Twitter.

Wondering why the stock market boomed yesterday? Because Trump’s economic “plan,” the one that he wouldn’t shut up about for months, was pulled back.

He caved. We repeat: Trump. Caved.

Have you ever seen a more consistent correlation? Trump’s tariffs are in, the market crashes. Trump’s tariffs are gone, the market shoots up. He’s literally the anti-economist. He has absolutely zero idea what he’s doing, and that’s why he’s flipped on these a dozen times in less than three months.

Even though it may look like he’s done screwing with our retirement plans (for today, at least), the damage is done. Wall Street is officially freaked out. They know how powerful Trump’s big orange ego is. They’re seeing that he won’t even listen to Elon anymore. They know he’s f**king insane.

To us though, he’s still just the village idiot. And the best thing about village idiots is that they’re predictable. We’re sure the tariffs will be back someday in the future, but just remember, it won’t be for long. That’s why our movement stood tall through the eight chaos-filled days since “Liberation Day.”

As long as we keep our heads, we’ll get through this. Our movement is bigger, smarter, and more powerful than Donald Trump’s ego. He backed down on this, and if we keep doing what we’re doing, he’ll back down on his next stupid idea too. Chip in to help us grow the movement and be prepared for the next Trump-caused crisis >>
