I agree this is just market euphoria. We have a lot of systemic issues that have been exacerbated and/or entirely created by Trump.
The core problem is Trump full stop. He is sitting in the White House with nothing but “Yes” men in his cabinet. It’s only a mater of time until he releases his next scheme on the market.
No he won’t give tariffs up. This was his latest gift to make 10% tariffs on everything seem not so bad. I’m willing to bet 10% was always his goal and the crazy numbers he threw out were there to make 10% seem reasonable.
The problem is after 4 months of attacking allies, siding with dictators, reneging on prior trade agreements he negotiated, and being called out for it globally. This latest economic grift wiped any trust the US had left.
The US is uninvestable while he is in power. You can’t make major investments be it a billion dollar factory complex or some small business importing goods to build a product. You could be wiped out because of a mood swing or Orange Mussolini’s latest grift.
Worse his tariffs put many US manufacturers at a disadvantage compared to foreign competitors. He’s just set the stage for a definite recession, long term slow economic growth or at worse a depression if the bond market fully breaks down.
Even if he can get tax cuts passed they won’t do shit to put it all back together.

He’s been obsessed with tariffs all his life, he won’t stop doing those
