By Denise Rivette
Upon President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing certain tariff’s for 90 days, the volatile stock markets reacted quickly and positively. Multiple media sources are reporting surges for the S&P 500 of 6% - 7% and for the Nasdaq 100 of 7% - 8%. This is a volatile and evolving story current as of noon on April 9, 2025.
trump knew his terrible tariffs were crashing the economy so he had no choice but to walk it back. And of course he tries to spin it as other countries somehow meeting any demands he had. He's trying to put lipstick on a pig, as he walks back yet another one of his terrible decisions.
