Today the market fall down go boom (he slathered our economy in honey and staked it down next to a fire ant hill)

Americans will immediately feel sticker shock on imported products, such as coffee and parmesan cheese. So that’s it – over a century of economic policy dumped in a ditch for no coherent reason. And what’s the president doing? He’s jetting off to Florida to watch golf. And also attempting to vaguely reassure the American people. “I think it’s going very well,” Trump said on Thursday. “The markets are gonna boom. The stock is gonna boom. The country is gonna boom.” Yes, boom, the traditional sound for when everything stays intact. And he’s right. Today the market fall down go boom. —Stephen Colbert

“Everybody feeling liberated? Because … yeah. Today was the first day of trading on Wall Street since Trump slathered our economy in honey and staked it down next to a fire ant hill. And the Dow Jones nosedived 1,679.39 points, joining the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in having their biggest drop since 2020. So, worst day for our economy since Covid. Just a little reminder: this time, he’s the disease.” —Stephen Colbert
