"From now on, on the 1st and 2nd of July, every American citizen will be rounded up and forced to work for 48 hours in coal mines without a break. Anyone slouching will be whipped, anyone trying to escape will be shot on sight. We call it FREEDOM DAY!"

I mean he started his usual riffing a while ago.

Now he's talking about the border and his approval ratings.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced plans for sweeping tariffs Wednesday, saying “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” by other nations.

The aggressive rhetoric came as Trump showed a willingness to dismantle a global economic system that the United States helped to build after World War II. Trump held up a chart while speaking, showing the United States would charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan.

“Taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years,” Trump said in remarks at the White House. “But it is not going to happen anymore.”

It was nice of the White House to schedule this speech minutes after the markets closed..

Anyone with a brain (which is not me) probably should have sold at 3:59 today.

The globalists weep in their high-rise towers,
Their schemes undone, their fading powers.
No more will trade be free and wild,
America stands, no more beguiled.

From Beijing’s docks to Brussels’ halls,
They gnash their teeth as their empire falls.
Factories hum, the steel mills roar,
Made in the U.S.A. once more!

The streets are bright with red, white, blue,
Flags wave high, the crowds break through.
A toast to tariffs, fair and bold,
No more goods from hands we’re sold.

They plotted deep in Davos rooms,
Their open borders spelled our doom.
But now the deal is torn in two,
The heartland sings—our pride renews!

From Texas plains to New York lights,
From coal-town hearts to Vegas nights,
America rises, strong and free,
On this grand day of victory!

Swedish market plunging like all other markets, except for the Swedish arms industry which climbed quite nicely - very nicely considering whats going on. Thank you Trump for getting the world to dump the US arms industry and turn to European arms instead!
