US stocks were sharply lower Friday as investors digested souring consumer sentiment and inflation data that showed an uptick in one of the Federal Reserve’s key gauges, underscoring the delicate state of the economy as businesses brace for President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The Dow tumbled 750 points, or 1.77%, on Friday. The broader S&P 500 fell 2.1% and the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.8%.

Wall Street was also grappling with Trump’s announcement on Wednesday of 25% tariffs on all cars shipped into the US, set to go into effect April 3. Trump also announced tariffs on car parts like engines and transmissions, set to take effect “no later than May 3,” according to the proclamation he signed.
Thanks trump. (if he can take credit for Biden’s economy then he can take credit for his ineptitude too)
This isn’t because of Bidens ineptitude though. This is entirely Trump’s fault. Anyone with half a brain could predict this after attacking our allies and bringing up the tariffs.
The tarrifs are 100% donnie.
If he can take credit for the past admin, he can take credit for his failures.
He won’t, Trump can do no wrong according to himself and his cult followers. Anything good is all him, anything bad is a nebulous thing he had no part of.
