Jamie Dimon says a recession is ‘likely outcome’ from Trump’s tariff turmoil
With the trade war between the U.S. and China intensifying, stocks and bonds sold off aggressively again in morning trade. Stock market futures slumped and bond yields spiked amid concerns over financial and economic stability brought on by the tit-for-tat exchange between the two nations.
“I think probably [a recession is] a likely outcome,” Dimon said on Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria” show.

A sunken ‘pyramid’ near Taiwan may rewrite everything we thought we knew about the ancient world.
Sitting just 82 feet below sea level near the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, a mysterious object called the Yonaguni monument continues to stump and astonish researchers since its discovery in 1986.
This giant structure with sharp-angled steps stands roughly 90 feet tall and appears to be made entirely of stone, leading many to believe it was man-made.
Tesla Sitting On Thousands Of Unsold Cybertrucks As It Stops Accepting Its Own Cars As Trade-Ins
Despite producing the Tesla Model Y, the most popular new car on the planet last year, Tesla has had a rough time so far in 2025. The American EV maker faces “Tesla Takedown” protests and other boycotts from citizens across the globe thanks to the inflammatory words and actions of the brand’s CEO, Elon Musk.
Though the company previously declared that there were over a million Cybertruck pre-orders, Tesla can’t find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400 Cybertrucks, or about $200 million worth of inventory. Not only that, but Tesla is allegedly refusing to accept its own Cybertrucks as trade-ins since it can’t sell them, and is reportedly even forcing some owners to Lemon Law their cars instead. That’s an ominous sign for the model that was supposed to revolutionize the pickup market and revitalize the automaker’s aging line up.

TARIFFS: THE FALL OUT OF WHAT COULD & SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED: WE NOW HAVE ENTERED OPERATION FINANCIAL WARP SPEED 2025
Dave Janda M.D.
I know you are really mad and feel like you were stabbed in the back … I feel the same….. FOR THE RECORD……. for the past 2 months…. A number of us have been telling those around President Trump if they were going to institute tariffs, prior to implementing the tariffs they needed to have several Oval Office Addresses by President Trump delivered to the nation.
Of note … and this is important…. What was initially proposed as “reciprocal tariffs”…. charging the same import tariff to a country that they charge on our exports coming in to their country was changed at the last minute prior to The Rose Garden Ceremony on April 2, 2025. Thank you Howard Lutnick.
The purpose of the proposed several Oval Office Addresses were to explain why the tariffs were needed, what the effect would be on Main Street, what the short, medium and long term ramifications of the tariffs would be for every American and what the opposition totalitarian globalists would do to take down the financial markets when the tariffs were put in place. Of note, the globalist syndicate has benefitted from the existing trade and tariff construct for many decades….. hence their opposition to any and all changes.
The Presidential Oval Office Addresses also SHOULD have identified ahead of time…. If markets tanked with the tariff anouncement …. Who was responsible and who benefitted from the take down of financial markets…. ie: The globalist banksters ….who had benefitted for decades with the gutting of America’s manufacturing base and who were financially positioned to benefit ( short the markets) if the stock market and commodity markets tanked after the “official tariff announcement”. If the scum were preemptively identified and exposed the chance they could take the markets down would have been diminished. Why? If they were identified before the take down of the markets they would be petrified that the public would be at their doors for retribution when the markets tanked. But… the Presidential Addresses never occurred.
Of note, prior to April 2, 2025….the globalist Banksters were heavily short the markets ( betting against the markets going up) making the Banksters vulnerable to bankruptcy if those markets continued to rise.
The Trump Administration did not listen to those of us pushing for educating the public and for transparency …. they did not do the presentations …. President Trump by not doing the presentations gave the globalist scum an opening and now we have an imploding stock market with commodities getting slammed all of which was preventable.
A number of us who predicted this current chaotic financial situation are livid of being ignored …..again…. this is…… “déjà vu all over again” ….the exact same situation of what happened when several of us were telling The Trump 1.0 Administration about the hazards of masks, lock downs, Fauci protocols and the Covid jab prior to inflicting their harmful effects on the public. They did not listen then….. and here we are again.
So what is my conclusion about this entire Trump Tariff Goat Rodeo…. Why did this financial take down occur with tariffs being implemented which could have been either completely prevented or at a minimum drastically diminished.
A friend of mine identified the “bait & switch “ tariff con stated…. “Well we knew tariffs were coming…but nobody expected the ridiculous tariff scheme they rolled out on April 2. The biggest lie was that he sold his tariffs as being reciprocal. People heard that and accepted that. The markets took hits based on that scheme. We all assumed that nominal tariff rates plus vat taxes and clear trade barriers would be factored into a tariff rate for each country we trade with. Instead, we got this previously unheard of formula based on the trade deficit with each country that generated tariff rates far above the highest rates anyone expected. Totally spooked the markets.”
So why the bait and switch on April 2???? I am sorry to say…… A possible conclusion is President Trump did not communicate about what was coming because he was bailing out his Bankster buddies at the behest of Howard Lutnick his Commerce Secretary and former Co-head of his Transition Team. The Banksters he bailed out were short the stock market and big time short commodities including gold and silver…. His commerce secretary Howard Lutnick is a flaming globalist Bankster shill who pushed the bait and switch tariffs….. if you watched the Rose Garden Ceremony he was the “elf” handing President Trump the poster with the tariffs rates on it which promptly started the implosion of financial markets… coincidence… I don’t think so. In the end, unfortunately, just as President Trump caved on COVID to Fauci, Birks and Pence …. He just did the same with the globalist “advisor” Lutnick on the “bait & switch tariffs” which has lead to the implosion of financial markets.
The concern becomes is President Trump a “selective”globalist or at a minimum why does he keep surrounding himself with globalists whose policies benefits the syndicate and targets Main Street? He has a track record of doing or not doing things to help prop up particular subsets of the old world globalists…. Last time he propped up Big Pharma through his actions and inactions with COVID … this time it is His old world Bankster buddies who were in a deep hole with their short positions in the market and criminally short positions in commodities and gold and silver. President Trump’s lack of “setting the table” with the presentations and the “bait and switch tariffs” now allowed the globalist scum to not only survive and extricate themselves from imminent bankruptcy but enabled the bankster scum to make huge financial gains while Main Street is left in the smoldering ruins through the Mar A Largo rear view mirror.
It has been said…. “fool me once … shame on you….. fool me twice….. shame on me.” This tariff “bait & switch” goat rodeo is not the STRATEGIC DISRUPTION which I endorsed or supported…. The last 48 hours due to The President NOT educating the public on the tariff situation delivered mass preventable financial chaos to the public and enhanced profits for the Banksters along with a bail out to the entire Criminal Bankster Syndicate.
Reciprocal tariffs could well have benefited Our ENTIRE Country for decades to come but what we were delivered was a “bait & switch” tariff con which has delivered chaos to Main Street and champagne and caviar to Wall Street and the Bankster Syndicate…… I ADMIT IT…. HE FOOLED ME TWICE….SHAME ON ME. I hope they have a great party at Mar A Largo tonight. Not!

They had better turn this thing immediately before the entire system is detonated with a systemic margin call with zero chance of ever being met!”
Hedge funds hit with steepest margin calls since 2020 Covid crisis
Hedge funds have been hit with the biggest margin calls since Covid shut down huge parts of the global economy in 2020, after Donald Trump’s tariffs triggered a powerful rout in global financial markets.
Wall Street banks have asked their hedge fund clients to stump up more money as security for their loans because the value of their holdings had tumbled, according to three people familiar with the matter. Several big banks have issued the largest margin calls to their clients since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020.

Rage and Racism: Nashville Shooter Switched School Target to Avoid Claims of Racism
Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old transgender shooter in Nashville, reportedly wanted to kill children so that she would not be forgotten. According to police, the only concern that she had throughout her “rage storms” was not that she would be called a mass murderer or child killer but a racist. Her primary grievance appeared to be with Creswell Middle School, where she was bullied as a transgender student. However, she dropped that target at the last minute because it had a large black population and she did not want to be thought of as a racist.
Hale shot and killed six victims at a Nashville Christian school on March 27, 2023. However, she originally planned to shoot up another school. She created detailed plans for the attack on Creswell Middle School, which she attended, and she blamed for the past bullying. She said that she wanted to become a “god . . . by killing victims nobody would forget: children.”
Fort Knox Has Already Been Audited, “It’s All There”
Ok folks, I’m about to blow your mind with TWO things in this article…
So buckle up!
I’ve been preaching to you about two things for many years now….
One is the power of Gold and Silver and Precious metals — and an audit of Fort Knox that has already occurred.
And second is cryptocurrency, especially XRP and Ripple.
I’ll give you my disclaimer right up front: I cannot give you personalized financial advice, and I can’t tell you what to do because everyone’s situation is different, but my attention has been firmly fixed on Gold, Silver and Crypto (mainly XRP) since about 2017.

Restaurant chain Hooters files for bankruptcy to enable founder-led buyout
Restaurant chain Hooters of America filed for bankruptcy in Texas on Monday, seeking to address its $376 million debt by selling all of its company-owned restaurants to a franchise group backed by the company’s founders.
Hooters, like other casual dining restaurants, has struggled in recent years due to inflation, the high costs of labor and food, and declining spending by cash-strapped American consumers. The company currently directly owns and operates 151 locations, with another 154 restaurants operated by franchisees, primarily in the United States.
The privately-owned company, which shares a private equity owner with recently-bankrupt TGI Fridays, intends to sell all corporate-owned locations to a buyer group comprised of two existing Hooters franchisees, who operate 30 high-performing Hooters locations in the U.S., mainly in Florida and Illinois.
