The "Trump Tariff News" topping the week's economic calendar isn't just news; it's a stark reminder that the admin's XX percent tariff rate, highest since the 1930s, is now a primary driver of market volatility. What a paradox: policies meant to "protect" are actively destabilizing our economy.

This protectionism has consequences: Q1 2025 GDP contracted 0.5%, and the July jobs report anticipates a mere XXXXXXX payroll increase with unemployment potentially hitting 4.2%. Despite "tame" recent inflation, core inflation is projected "a bit above X percent by the end of the year" due to these tariffs. The April 2, 2025 "Liberation Day" tariff announcement only deepened the uncertainty.

The admin's trade policy isn't a solution; it's a self-inflicted wound, turning economic data releases into a weekly reckoning for Americans.
