April Fools Tariffs

On Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 the Trump administration plans to activate the Tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Both Canada and Mexico communicated their intention to impose retaliatory tariffs as a response in what they feel is a unprovoked, and unfair trade war. While this is occurring right after April fools, this is NO FOOLING MATTER!!!

The prices of Cars, imported alcohol, food prices will experience further increases. As no surprise due to the mass layoffs, Unemployment is also on the rise. The convergence of these 2 economic events can trigger an economic disaster similar to that of a NorthPole blizzard. Add on the investment of the annexation of Greenland as a potential introduction of the 51st of the United States and the overall GDP could start to nosedive.

The resulting consequences of these tariffs, rising unemployment and annexation attempt are going to take a few months to metastasize into a spiraling recession that we have not seen since 2008. Many economists predict that the stock market will have an immediate reaction in the first 2 weeks of April. However, the real long term resulting impacts will result in the stock marketing starting to slide at the end of the 3rd quarter into the final quarter of the year.
