U.S. stock futures dropped on Sunday evening as the White House remained defiant even after a two-day historic stock market rout that followed President Donald Trump's rollout of shockingly high tariff rates on most key U.S. trading partners.

Dow Jones Industrial average futures fell 1,531 points, or 4% Sunday evening, pointing to another brutal session ahead on Monday. S&P 500 futures shed 4%. Nasdaq-100 futures lost 4%.

Ending Globalism without having the other factors in place will be costly to the US. The other factors include ending unionization, minimizing the economic destruction caused by the EPA and OHSA and similar agencies at all levels of government, ending runaway juries, getting MAHA going, and getting around to teach OUR KIDS how to read and add numbers without a calculator.

In other words ENDING the conditions that forced our companies to globalize in the first place.

Black Monday. It’s like a nation of financial heroin addicts suddenly got their needles taken away.

Meanwhile our hero and his band of merry men are on the Sunday talk show circuit telling us how good this really is. Just you wait and see.

Someday they will be right. Just like a stopped clock.

Trump Job Approval Rises a whopping 4 Points to 53%
Breitbart ^ | 04/06/2025 | JOHN NOLTE
Posted on 4/6/2025, 2:57:57 PM by SmokingJoe

During the week of the overwhelmingly approval poll:
<><>Trump was crucified nightly by the Legacy Media for even considering reciprocal tariffs.
<><>doomsday-speak was everywhere but had only one effect
<><>to surge Trump’s approval numbers.
<><>Trump’s job approval rose four points during Tariff Week, 49 to 53%.
<><>over 1000 voters polled between March 31 and April 3.
<><>Since March 7, young voters 18 and 29 approval jumped 13 points.
<><>Among Independents and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six-point increase.
<><>Most telling, black voters approval jumped 17 points in a single week.
<><>most support Trump’s tariffs——39% support, 37% oppose, 24% were unsure.
<><>and “significantly approve reducing” illegals coming in, 69% yes, only 26% no.

All of it is after the Regime Media coordinated a regime-wide tantrum over DOGE, the ridiculous SignalGate nothingburger, and the hoax about a gang member deported to El Salvador in error. Normal People see right through it.

This tariff stock market conversation is wearing me out. People that were coming in me and friends. The panic and hair on fire unbelievable.

What do you find encouraging about it? If you’re waiting to see it free fall worse than last week to buy in and get mega profits on the rebound I’m sure you’re fine with it. Most people I know couldn’t care less as it has no direct effect on them. I fear Trump might talked into NOT staying the course on tariffs.

I can’t recall ever feeling good about such dips whether it affected me or not.

Every time there is a downturn in the market, there are people screaming “Oh, No! We’re all going to die!”

The rest of us rejoice, and go shopping for stock market deals.

A few days or weeks later, the market rises again. The Drive-By Media ignores the recovery.

I put part of what little cash I have in on Friday’s bottom. I’m not good at this. I should stick to playing the ponies where I know what I’m doing.

The covid sell off was rescued by massive fed and congressional intervention. There is no Calvary to come in, if it does, it destroys any and all possible cuts by doge and other spending reductions.

Change would have felt less drastic if we had lured more companies back through competitive business environment first but tariffs seem to be a good idea for a number of reasons and I would rather have the globalist freak out occur now rather than an election year.
