Wall Street is sending a clear message about President Donald Trump’s latest tariff push: the market no longer sees trade brinkmanship as background noise, it sees it as a direct threat to earnings and growth. Stocks have started to price in not just higher costs, but the risk that policy missteps collide with a fragile…
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again stepped into the markets at a moment of weakness, disclosing purchases in two companies trading at their 52-Week lows.
