If you think it couldn’t get any worse for the stock market, than it did Thursday, the day after President Trump’s announced reciprocal tariffs, think again! Friday the stock market took its steepest dive yet where the Dow Jones fell 4.4% and the S&P and Nasdaq fell about 5% apiece. Is it time to panic? Do you have stocks and if so, have you sold any of your stocks or do you have confidence in big returns in the future?

Some of the demands include: an end to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, merit-based hiring, and admissions reform and with that a demonstration that the changes are “durable,” among other demands. Does this set a bad precedent of allowing presidents and future administrations to withhold federal funding or grants over whatever type of engagement or program they deem discriminatory?
