Even though it’s heartbreaking and everyone misses the background, this is one of those times when I’m so proud of The Core and you, wonderful readers. Before the sun came up, we’d already spelled out the big shocker about Trump’s tariff-for-all (aka the “World Trade War“).

Treasury yields are diving, autos are buckling under import levies, and consumer goods are being shocked. In the end, we’re the only ones showing how these phony taxes are hurting Main Street, not just Wall Street. Welcome to the meltdown—told ya so.
