Summary

U.S. CEOs and business executives are alarmed as Donald Trump remains firm on imposing high tariffs on U.S. allies, despite warnings from economists about potential economic harm.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s late-night social media announcements have blindsided both his advisers and business leaders, leaving them scrambling to react.

While Trump consults some advisers, like Marco Rubio and Treasury pick Scott Bessent, his unilateral approach limits their influence.

The uncertainty has left business leaders struggling to find ways to alter his stance on trade policies.

    I’m going to laugh so hard if Trump has an “apparent suicide” and at least one cop says it’s not suspicious, if they can do it to whistleblowers who risk their profits, surely this qualifies?

    Not saying it’s likely, just that I absolutely will laugh, probably for days.
