President Trump’s new tariffs have Wall Street in a panic, but experts say the market is overreacting. Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo warns the president must act fast to cut deals and calm fears before the economy takes a bigger hit.
The stock market lost $6 trillion in just two days after Trump announced tariffs on imports. Bartiromo calls this a “wild overreaction” and says one good deal could turn things around fast. She points to talks with Israel and the UK as signs foreign leaders are ready to negotiate lower tariffs.
Lower oil prices and interest rates could help everyday Americans save money at the gas pump and on home loans. These silver linings show the economy might not be doomed despite the stock slide. Critics in the media keep pushing recession fears, but Trump’s team says tariffs protect jobs and national security.
Some lawyers claim Trump’s use of emergency powers for tariffs might get struck down in court. Bartiromo warns legal battles could make things worse by creating more uncertainty. She argues Congress should stay out of it and let Trump’s deal-making skills work instead.
The tariffs aim to bring factories back from China and make America less dependent on foreign drugs and computer chips. While prices might rise short-term, conservatives say rebuilding U.S. manufacturing will create better jobs for working families. Union workers have already cheered the move as a win for American pride.
Democrats and liberal economists claim tariffs will spark inflation and hurt low-income households. But Trump supporters remind voters that similar tariffs in his first term didn’t cause price spikes and actually boosted steel towns. They say the “America First” plan puts workers ahead of globalist trade deals.
Bartiromo stresses timing is critical—if tariffs drag on too long, they could shrink the economy by 1% this quarter. She urges Trump to seal agreements quickly before the stock rout hits Main Street through higher prices. A few smart deals this week could prove the doomsayers wrong and steady the markets.
Conservatives argue the media blew past tariff warnings but got proven wrong every time. This “panic moment” will pass just like the fake trade war scare stories from 2018. With Trump pushing hard for fair deals, America might soon see a manufacturing boom that makes the short-term chaos worth it.
