The good news is that the hysteria was exposed, and we got back to business in just a couple of days. All the deranged headlines from CNBC, Reuters, NYTs, WSJ, etc., and the blustering and buffoonery from Wall Street honchos are now enshrined in history and serve as more fodder for driving citizen trust rates into the ground. *Since the tariffs announcement on April 2nd, the Dow was down as low as 9.5 %, the S&P was down 10%, and the Nasdaq was down 11.4%. From the same starting point through today's close, the Dow is down 4.7%, the S&P is down 1.9%, and the Nasdaq is up +1.05%. What a pain in the ass.😡* As it stands, only 15 percent of the US trusts Corporate Media, and just 27 percent trust Banks. <https://substack.com/redirect/9a9495e2-92b9-4d3e-b219-e40ea51b33de?j=eyJ1Ij…> *US Confidence in institutions averages a pitiful 28 percent <https://substack.com/redirect/7f0469d2-b8c8-4b2f-a75f-b37b3b1140b4?j=eyJ1Ij…>. Faith in the* *police is the only institution whose trust rate is going up <https://substack.com/redirect/7f0469d2-b8c8-4b2f-a75f-b37b3b1140b4?j=eyJ1Ij…>* . This whole tariff hike and market disruption dilemma came down to a simple equation that should have been obvious to those who are paid to pay attention. As we explained last Monday, the Boogeyman's 'Shock and Awe' negotiating move was meant to bring every nation to the table. The goal was never to *raise* tariffs but to *eliminate* them. In less than a week, 75 countries have come to the table to negotiate thus far, including Canada, whose new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, seeks to negotiate 'immediately.' Wisdom from Titans of Wall Street *"The recent tariffs will likely increase inflation and are causing many to consider a greater probability of a recession. I think a recession is a likely outcome.' —Jamie Dimon <https://substack.com/redirect/760eb926-eccc-4d75-b7aa-fe74f041820a?j=eyJ1Ij…>, CEO of JPMorgan Chase* <https://substack.com/redirect/4bb025b8-368c-4631-bae7-d5b13a61aa44?j=eyJ1Ij…> *Give Jaime <https://substack.com/redirect/986daae5-d72a-4122-889a-da025f8f0bc2?j=eyJ1Ij…> your money; he sees the world where it's not going.🤔* *"By placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital." —Bill Ackman <https://substack.com/redirect/760eb926-eccc-4d75-b7aa-fe74f041820a?j=eyJ1Ij…>, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management* Before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited with Trump at the White House last week, Israel preemptively canceled all remaining tariffs on US <https://substack.com/redirect/fbe29ee4-c1ca-493f-895a-42ce400ab663?j=eyJ1Ij…> imports, a move clearly to mitigate higher US tariffs. European Union (EU) leader Ursula von der Leyen also offered a 'zero-for-zero' tariff deal <https://substack.com/redirect/d7cfac6c-627d-47ca-adbd-61220f28df3f?j=eyJ1Ij…> on industrial goods, including cars, which would be phenomenal if it were to happen. How could any informed ‘journalist’ or bankers claim countries bargaining from positions of weakness would ‘retaliate’ en mass rather than negotiate? 🤷🏻‍♀️ The results of Shock and Awe will be lower trade taxes for ALL countries, freer global markets, rising standards of living, and a happier world. It’s called the Art of the Deal. The old guard lost in the Swiss Alps <https://substack.com/redirect/f86539a0-c014-4f3b-a246-3f442ab7908a?j=eyJ1Ij…> *The folks who managed the US Treasury out of one checkbook.🤔* 'We found the Treasury Department uses only one bank account to make trillions in federal payments, and it doesn't code each transaction, so it's impossible to track. If the government were a public corporation, it would not only be impossible for it to pass an audit, but the leadership would likely be in jail.' —Tom Krause <https://substack.com/redirect/add6f19f-eba1-4638-9a64-bee6a2742821?j=eyJ1Ij…>, DOGE <https://substack.com/redirect/c4dd109a-ff72-44b4-a956-455a416497a9?j=eyJ1Ij…> team member, and former Broadcom's CFO and President of its Software Group. According to the same Gallup poll noted abov <https://substack.com/redirect/7f0469d2-b8c8-4b2f-a75f-b37b3b1140b4?j=eyJ1Ij…>e, only 36 percent of people trust higher education. As Wall Street and the 'elite <https://substack.com/redirect/0dfe8602-7985-47ef-8e0d-fa403553fb4c?j=eyJ1Ij…>schools' become increasingly disconnected from the rest of us, it underscores their sinking relevancy.

After the first round of the 'trade war' with Mighty Dragon, we were charging each other triple-digit tariffs. The CCP has upped its tariffs on US products to 125 percent, and the US is charging 135 percent on Chinese imports. (The Boogeyman always got to be on top.😭) <https://substack.com/redirect/58b17861-7cb7-46a9-9b7e-311103d6d140?j=eyJ1Ij…> T*he CCP has stifled its abuse of the Uyghurs as much as the freedoms of its people through violence and punishment.* The CCP is a ruthless regime that uses facial recognition technology to surveil its citizens and monitors financial transactions, social media, and government databases to assign 'trustworthiness' scores <https://substack.com/redirect/99ad890d-d0ad-4065-b498-68361cad96a5?j=eyJ1Ij…>. Low scores lead to restrictions, such as bans on buying plane or train tickets, limited job opportunities, and suffering public shaming. They have also subjected over a million predominantly Muslim Uyghurs <https://substack.com/redirect/e1f91246-4a05-40b8-bdeb-82442f99f714?j=eyJ1Ij…> to involuntary detainment, political indoctrination, forced labor, torture, systemic rape, gang rape, and forced sterilizations. Our trade deficit with China is roughly $300 billion, 30 percent of our $1 trillion overall global trade deficit. Our $172 billion trade deficit with Mexico ranks second. The bottom line is that the CCP needs us to feed its 1.5 billion people. Unfortunately for them, no one wants the yuan. <https://substack.com/redirect/c19f7633-9501-47ee-bdf0-aa595a6a8ab5?j=eyJ1Ij…> No one trusts the yuan because it has a history of being manipulated by the CCP, it has capital flow restrictions, there is a lack of transparency by the People's Bank of China <https://substack.com/redirect/896189dc-b097-4c5d-8bea-04c08cd38224?j=eyJ1Ij…> (PBOC), and broader geopolitical concerns. In 2024, the dollar accounted for about 58 percent of global foreign exchange reserves compared to the yuan's roughly 2 percent. <https://substack.com/redirect/92cdc615-6b7a-4979-813b-52680ecea816?j=eyJ1Ij…> The *Silk Road Economic Belt* is a land-based network of railways, roads, and pipelines, and the *Maritime Silk Road* is a sea-based route connecting ports from China to Europe via the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. The CCP also needs our 300 billion in trade dollars to feed its global war machine. The Boogeyman knows this. When you look at the worldwide map, China is way beyond building defense mode. The Mighty Dragon is now in full-on offensive mode, including the militarization of the South China Sea <https://substack.com/redirect/cf802703-3090-4065-8851-1b361297742e?j=eyJ1Ij…>, the Belt and Road Initiative <https://substack.com/redirect/fb7f8a75-2d02-4e6a-ada6-00ffb2868239?j=eyJ1Ij…>, and the extensive use of cyber and what President Xi refers to as 'informationized' warfare <https://substack.com/redirect/24d17113-78cd-440c-8d5f-35bc8d9d9d23?j=eyJ1Ij…> . The CCP's leverage is that it now holds $759 billion in US Treasury bonds <https://substack.com/redirect/1ed6181f-292e-414b-9d31-055fa4e514a2?j=eyJ1Ij…>, $1-1.5 trillion in US corporate securities (2-3% of US equities), and $50-100 billion in US real estate. (China is the second-largest foreign holder in the US after Japan, with $1.06 trillion <https://substack.com/redirect/1ed6181f-292e-414b-9d31-055fa4e514a2?j=eyJ1Ij…>.) If the CCP hits the 'sell' button, that could get very ugly, but it is highly improbable as it would mean mutually assured economic destruction <https://substack.com/redirect/1ed6181f-292e-414b-9d31-055fa4e514a2?j=eyJ1Ij…> . Weak domestic consumption, declining disposable income, falling real estate prices, and developer debt are all challenging China's domestic economic growth. Escalating US tariffs and EU protectionism (e.g., EV tariffs up to 35 percent) threaten its export-led growth. If we stop buying products made in China as a tactic to inspire a Chinese citizen revolt and the toppling of the notorious CCP, then this is something to consider seriously.🤔 If that's a plan, then who cares how much in tariffs they charge us? <https://substack.com/redirect/87103ec9-a5ac-4e25-a0bc-5fa85badf05c?j=eyJ1Ij…> *$16 billion in new AI chip orders makes fast buddies. Art by Grok3.* The Boogyman cuts TechBros tariff slack If the Shock and Awe strategy fails, so will the Boogeyman's legacy (and ego). We are betting the Boogeyman is motivated to work and make adjustments along the way so as not to risk his image from being carved into Mount Rushmore. (That way, the Boogeyman can be saved from having to buy his own mountain.😭😭😭) One example is when our boy, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, negotiated a tariff adjustment at lunch with the Boogeyman at Mar-a-Lago last week. Jensen was seeking approval on $16 billion in Chinese orders for Nvidia's H20 server AI chips. The White House had been planning more restrictions on the chips to make it harder for Chinese firms and military agencies to develop AI, but hey, $16 billion is $16 billion.😎🤙🏼 NPR reported that Trump agreed to adjustments after Huang promised to pour big money into AI data centers in the US. ------------------------------ [image: Here come the TechBros; what's up with Jack Dorsey, exploring the Multiverse?

Apple manufactures over 80% of iPads and more than half of Mac computers in China. The excuse for this policy shift? 'At the direction of the President, these companies are hustling to onshore their manufacturing in the United States as soon as possible,' replied the White House. The cost of an iPhone under Trump's tariff plan could have ballooned to as high as $3,500 under some estimates <https://substack.com/redirect/3734bd99-4173-4c4a-8f82-1ca67ab9475f?j=eyJ1Ij…> . These moves breathed new oxygen into tech stocks, which we pummeled during the tariff hysteria after already experiencing a much-needed correction in the first three months of the year. <https://substack.com/redirect/af3e0318-685b-4bfc-9c65-8fc4d7646ac5?j=eyJ1Ij…> *28-year-old Scale AI <https://substack.com/redirect/6e1504f6-a2b0-4346-bf95-18d21cffdc9c?j=eyJ1Ij…> CEO Alexandr Wang is an MIT freshman dropout and is currently the world's youngest self-made billionaire and CEO.* The AI arms race with the Might Dragon It was impressive to see that the 28-year-old founder and CEO of *Cryptonite 300 <https://open.substack.com/pub/cryptoniteventures/p/the-cryptonite-300-compe…>-*winning company Scale AI <https://substack.com/redirect/6e1504f6-a2b0-4346-bf95-18d21cffdc9c?j=eyJ1Ij…> Alexandr Wang is to have enough cahones to publicly issue a stark warning about America's need to keep pace with China on AI. "The Chinese Communist Party has enacted a whole-of-government approach to leading in AI—an AI master plan. They want to be the leader by 2030. Their approach integrates their economy, their government, and every part of the Chinese society to ensure that they're able to come out ahead. If China races ahead on AI and starts applying it to its military and cyber operations more effectively than we do in the United States, it will be able to hack into our systems. They'll be able to hack into our energy grid and shut it off. I am encouraged that this administration has been super focused on AI and is thinking a lot about how to ensure American leadership. The United States needs a strategy for data dominance. We need an approach, both in the public and private sectors, to win on data. I am also advocating for AI agents to make the federal government more efficient. Our role as humans is increasingly going to be as managers of AI agents. I'm seeing that pendulum swing back, even in Silicon Valley. There is now a clear recognition and moral imperative that we need to utilize AI to support our warfighters and national security mission. —Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang testimony before a House Armed Services Subcommittee on Cyber, Information Technology, and Innovation in Washington, U.S. The State of New Mexico-born entrepreneur, whose parents are Chinese immigrants and who works as a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, noted, 'It was very much drilled into my childhood that American leadership in science and technology is the core of why we as a country are able to maintain our leadership.' *Scale AI <https://substack.com/redirect/6e1504f6-a2b0-4346-bf95-18d21cffdc9c?j=eyJ1Ij…>, *San Francisco, CA, USA, founded in 2016 ($13.8 billion valuation).
