Hi everyone,
Hung over from Liberation Day? You aren't alone. I suspect many of us feel like we're a few pounds lighter this weekâprobably our 401ks melting away after Thursday's market plunge, the worst since 2020.
Tomorrow at 3pm ET, I'll be hosting my first Substack Live "Ask Me Anything" to dig into these developments and the week's other international stories.
So what's on your mind?
Trump's sweeping 10% tariffs, which could cost the average household $3,800 annually? The tariffs have sparked global warnings of retaliation, with traditional allies now threatening countermeasures. The EU, Canada, Mexico, and others are preparing their own trade barriers in response, potentially igniting a global trade war on top of this economic uncertainty.
Or the latest White House drama with Trump firing six NSX officials after meeting with a far-right conspiracy theorist?
Let's not forget Israel's new incursions into Gaza continue to escalate tensions in the Middle East.
Send me your questions in the comments below or just respond to this email. Whether you're concerned about economic impacts, White House staffing changes, international conflicts, or something else, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
This is your chance to steer the conversation! Drop your questions in the comments section below, reply to this email, or join us live on Friday and we will sort through it together.
Bring a cocktail if you like- it will already be happy hour somewhere!
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
April 15th is nearing, will our taxes be entered and will we be getting refunds? Just curious since all of our data has been robbed?
Thank you for making this open. How did we let this happen: We went ahead and gave Trump extraordinary destructive power, the MOST we have to give, power that has been building and building in the Executive. *We* did, this *democracy*. We went ahead and let Trump run and win and get inaugurated instead of convicting him, slithery conman, criminal, madman, unstable, cruel, irresponsible. And now we, all of us, reap the results. We go round and round like caught mice a cat plays with before he kills. Trump says he could not care less ( about the people, about the Constitution, about the law). He keeps us enraged... some of us.
