Stock market plummets after Donald Trump’s tariff announcement

Everyone in the world knows that you can’t successfully use tariffs in an all out trade war without it backfiring on your own economy. Everyone, that is, but Donald Trump.
Today Trump announced that he is indeed going through with idiotically oversized tariffs against the likes of Mexico in Canada starting tomorrow.
The Dow Jones industrial average had been having a roughly break even day until Trump’s announcement, at which point it promptly plummeted more than 300 points.
Donald Trump and his idiotic policies are incredibly bad for the American economy, and Wall Street certainly seems to know it. If only they had bothered to back Kamala Harris instead, they wouldn’t be stuck with this mess.
