Stock Market & Tariffs
The MAGA Master Plan
All sorts of investors and economists are freaking out over Trump tariffs. The anti-Trump protests over the weekend were filled with older people and elderly citizens. The news media was and is filled of useless anger. Even Ben Shapiro took issue with the tariffs and many others rightly mocked the supposed “reciprocity” of the tariffs (https://www.aei.org/economics/president-trumps-tariff-formula-makes-no-economic-sense-its-also-based-on-an-error/).
While Americans were freaking out and taking to the streets and posting wild speculations on social media and the internet, I had to dig further and research what was going on. Peter Navarro has advocated for tariffs as part of the Trump Administration, but his viewpoint is narrow, and archaic.
Oddly, I came across Dutch professor Dr. Joeri Schasfoort and his YouTube channel, Money and Macro Media. He understands macro economics and history very well. His video on the tariffs is eye-opening as he explains who Miran and Bessent are and what the master plan is. While I do not agree with absolutely every element in his video, in part because a digital economy is complex, he outlines very well what the Trump Administration has planned for the world.
What is important for investors to know is the tariffs are part of much larger grand plan to reshape the world’s economic order. Stocks will be down for a bit, but they will spring back up. It is just a matter of time.
