Will The Trump Tariff Chaos Actually Pay Off?
(00:01.966)
Do we have calculus or do we have chaos? What is it? What’s going on out there? We’re taking a look at the stock market as a whole, which has not reacted in a positive manner to Trump’s tariff. And quite frankly, we told you this was going to happen. This was to be
expected and even Trump that has saved the union address said there was going to be some, what did he say exactly? Some disconnect for a period of time. And yeah, I get that. I understand that. The issue that we have right now, and again, I’m not in these negotiations. I don’t have an inside source. not, I can’t get Howard Mutnick on phone. I don’t know the guy.
I don’t know if this is by design, like I said, if this is calculus or if this is chaos at this point in time. It appears, it appears and it’s how the media is covering, it appears to be completely chaotic. That’s at first glance, you’re looking at this right now. We’re told that these wonderful, fantastic tariffs are coming down and Canada is gonna get whacked and Mexico is gonna get whacked and China is getting whacked and
Europe’s next. And then day goes by. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re going to do that, but not on cars. And then the next day goes by. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re going to do that, but we’re going to have more exemptions for a month.
You know for business owners, being honest, it’s very very difficult. It is. I’ve done animal way. Always, it’s weird things. There’s always chaotic things happening away on vacation. Always pulling me back in. Just when I think I can get a week off or two weeks off, they pull me back in. And I’m back in and my wife’s not too happy with me because babe I gotta do my job. But anyway, neither here nor there.

You get like lot of doing a lot of interviews over the course of the day and, you know, trying to explain to people that, um, know, Trump promised, promised that he was going to eliminate regulation. Another thing he said at the state of the union dress was going to eliminate, um, was a 10 regulations for every new piece of regulation. I have equated, uh, nonsensical government regulations, red tape, uh, for landmines. Um, I’m a business owner.
I’m a business owner and business owners, put their money at risk, they work hard and they have to, you have to play by the rules, the rules that the government lays out for you. Now,
Rules are bad enough as is. Okay, rules can be okay, ridiculous regulations can be a pain in the neck. But if the rules are changing all the time, I can drive you nuts. Okay, and again, I honestly, I’m coming out and telling you, I feel for some of these companies out there, let’s say if you’re an auto company, you don’t know what’s up or down or sideways or forwards, maybe.
This is where it is. I don’t know if this is calculus or chaos. I don’t know what’s being said. I don’t know what these people know. I don’t know if Donald Trump has already laid out exactly his agenda and how he’s going about handling these tariffs. We shall see. We shall see. So again, he’s played some 3D chess along the way.
know if this is completely calculated or if this is chaos but even but either way

Everybody’s going to adjust. Everybody’s going to adjust. The chips are going to fall where they may. The sky’s not going to fall. The world’s not going to end. You’ve never been on the end of the world. That most certainly is not going to happen. But again, the markets, and I would predict a lot more volatility when it comes to the markets moving forward due to these tariffs and in essence, new regulations coming down.
