The S&P 500 index hit a new record high this morning.

That tells me the people who take a stand on the economy with their real money are saying the tariffs will, in one way or another, benefit the U.S. economy.

Sorry, I.B.

I hate tariffs, too, but maybe, just maybe, Trump and his economic advisors know what they are doing and and have more and better information than you and I do to make these tariff decisions.....

This is flawed reasoning. The economy can perform well in spite of the tariffs and not because of the tariffs. The S&P has been on an upward trajectory for years, including after the passage of Obamacare. That doesn't mean that investors like Obamacare's effect on the economy.
