Tariffs are the great equalizer for trade on the world stage. No more allowing the EU, China, and other countries that hate us get away with tariffing our goods while we sit around with our thumbs up our collective asses. Fuck that!
Boomers and rich white liberals hate them because they only care about Wall St and their stock portfolio. Meanwhile, main street America has been driven into the ditch for the last 40 years. NO MORE! And it was those people that did it!
Tariffs will have ZERO long-term impact on the stock market.
There…I said it.
Don’t believe me? Basic math says I’m correct.
If you’re scared of tariffs, you won’t be after reading this 👇

In a healthy economy, tariffs should have a long-term impact on the stock market.
But we don’t live in a healthy economy.
We live in a currency debasing shitshow.

Regardless of what any politician does to the stock market…
The Federal Reserve can add digits on a computer screen, and your stocks will skyrocket.
And that’s exactly what they’ll be doing soon.
Not necessarily because they want to…because they have to.

Here’s the situation.
The U.S. is $36.6 trillion in debt.
$9.2 of that $36 trillion needs to either be refinanced or paid this year.
Let’s examine both options and see how all roads lead to higher stock prices.

Option 1:
The $9.2 trillion is paid off.
There are only a handful of ways to make this happen.
• Tax citizens to pay it off
• Cut government spending and reallocate funds
• Print money (Quantitative Easing)Here’s why printing money is the only logical choice of the 3.

The government collected ~$5 trillion in taxes last year.
Which means we’re still $4 trillion short.
Plus, Trump is preaching zero income taxes.
So raising taxes to collect $4 trillion more? Political suicide.
Paying off the $9.2 trillion with taxes is off the table.

Next, the government can cut spending elsewhere and reallocate funds.
Such as the military, federal programs, etc.
But that wouldn’t work either.
Military = $900B
Social Security = 1.4T
Medicaid and other health insurance programs = $1.6TEven if I tally up all government…

And finally…the only possible choice.
The Federal Reserve will perform quantitative easing.
Which is a fancy-pants way of saying they’ll print money out of thin air.
This money will be used to purchase bonds from the US Treasury.
This directly injects cash into the financial…
— WOLF (@WOLF_Financial) April 5, 2025
Alright, so that’s what’ll happen if the Fed performs quantitative easing.
The other option is refinancing the debt at new interest rates.
Basically…kicking the can down the road.
— WOLF (@WOLF_Financial) April 5, 2025
The problem with refinancing at new rates is that interest rates are relatively high right now.
And the US is already paying ~$1.2T in yearly interest.
If we refinance $9.2T at current rates, that $1.2T in yearly interest would soar.
Not good.
