Global markets in turmoil as Trump tariffs wipe $2.5tn off Wall Street
-
As world leaders reacted to the US president’s “liberation day” tariff policies demolishing the international trading order, about $2.5tn (£1.9tn) was wiped off Wall Street and share prices in other financial centres across the globe.
World leaders from Brussels to Beijing rounded on Trump. China condemned “unilateral bullying” practices and the EU said it was drawing up countermeasures.
While Trump timed his Wednesday evening Rose Garden address to avoid live tickers of crashing stock markets, that fate arrived when Asian exchanges opened hours later.

His handler's goal is to dismantle the US. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just knows he gets to sniff the mushroom every time he follows orders

The biggest take away I see from this is how easy it was to remove $2.5 trillion dollars .... yet the world didn't end.

It's always unclear whether he's deliberately destroying the West in the service of Russia, or whether he's just unwittingly destroying the West in the service of Russia. That's his great mystique.

That's an insult to morons. He's a fuckwit, a sentient turd.
