CNN Money Dow plummets more than 500 points after Trump announces tariffs

Wall Street is worried about a trade war.
The Dow dropped more than 500 points on Thursday after President Trump said his administration will impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 declined about 1.5% apiece.
Trump's controversial tariff announcement caught investors off guard and immediately raised concerns about retaliation from China or other major U.S. trading partners.

Treasury.

So at the end of his term (or before), he has to pay from his own personal pocket, at least $1 trillion in damages.

Failure to do so will result in a lifetime term in Florence, Colorado where a spray-painted gold 6x9 cell await him.

Jared can be his cellie.
