Trump just made a new announcement about tariffs from the WH. Hopefully, you don’t have any retirement savings in the stock market. pic.twitter.com/juJcgD2cQg

(No, the DJIA does not reflect the movement of all stocks listed on the Dow. But Trump pays obsessive attention to it, which is good enough for government work.)

Warren Buffett, billionaire chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, on Donald Trump's tariffs:

Tariffs are "an act of war, to some degree."

"Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em!"

Timing really IS everything!

And just to prove the grownups are NOT in charge:

Tommy Tuberville cos-plays Neville Chamberlain.

Tuberville: "Zelenskyy's gonna play hardball, but you know what? He's not even in the game. It's gonna be Putin and President Trump and the people on our side that will end up making this decision for the future of Ukraine." pic.twitter.com/R1VVZesmDa

At least DOD is focused on important stuff!

The market is tanking, Trump just launched a trade war, we told Cyber Command to stand down against Russia, Trump is rolling out a massive crypto scam, and drug dealers have started selling eggs because the profit margin is better. You aren’t distracting us with culture war BS. pic.twitter.com/ryrGN9J9Y2

KUDLOW: What's left of the Biden economy is slumping so badly

🎤 check. Is this thing on? (“Working around clock” means golfing, skiing, and illegally laying off thousands of employees? Asking for a friend….)

The Dow has now lost almost all gains made since Trump's victory on November 5. His economic policies have been all sticks and no carrots.

(Like I said, the DJIA is not even a sound economic indicator. But I’ll take the optics of this, anytime.)
