Wednesday was the rare reprieve from Wall Street hemorrhaging so naturally President Donald Trump felt the need to take a victory lap. Thank goodness Trump saved us from Trump when he put the pause on most tariffs, after realizing people were "getting yippy."

So what's wild about all the suffering Americans and their 401(k) accounts are enduring is, it may all come down to Trump leaning on advisor Peter Navarro's belief in tariffs. Okay, no, what's really wild about that is that Navarro was a Jared Kushner "find" from writing books on trade policy while citing an expert named 'Ron Vara.'

Ron Vara doesn't exist. The name itself is just an anagram using the letters from "Navarro."

Oh, and while he was out celebrating his one day blip in the green, it's important to point out the damage done the days before wont' be simpy undone anytime soon - if ever.

Because we're enduring (still!) the first '100 days' of another Trump presidency, there's naturally going to be discussion of Donald and those in his orbit profiting off of a situation. Such is the case as Trump himself took to Truth Social to implore his followers to snap up stocks hours before he paused his tariff rollout. Or when Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) "bought the dip" and snapped up some plum stocks at a timely moment.

As he's good at doing, Jay Bookman brought the damage closer to home in his latest op-ed explaining how the tariff uncertainties will be felt in Georgia.

Uhm, an unknown number of international student visas are being revoked at Georgia schools and apparently in South Carolina, too. Oh, at Purdue University, now, too.
