"I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!"

Oh no... transparency, "we cannot have that, the people will be madz".
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

This amuses me. American products already often cost a premium to their competition, sometimes even while being inferior. I expect this is the more likely reason for the trade imbalances the US has and tariffs aren't going to do a thing to change that - perhaps the opposite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In President Trump’s eyes, tariffs might simply be the price other countries should pay for admission to a premium market

Being a Prime Minister is an impossibly tough job. I will always admire Justin Trudeau for his willingness to listen to and take advice from some of his more vocal and annoying critics.

Conditions are currently looking solid for our European friends with the Hemispheric Power Index touching 50. Hopefully this is just the start of the solar storm impact (for aurora chasers) and we'll see an expansion through tonight across North America. 🙏

To fill this morning’s rather ominous-looking gaps, $SPY would have to rally to 585.85 and $QQQ to 513.83. How quickly the gaps get filled -- if at all – gives us an idea of how strong the underlying trend is.

Fun times. Also, no country has any legitimate role in policing another country's sovereign borders. The US can make its own rules about who, how, when and where people are permitted to enter and employ any resources it deems necessary to enforce those rules. This is a smoke show. 🤷♂️
This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).
