Recent surveys in the United States indicate a growing dissatisfaction with the work of President Trump. The number of detractors has surpassed the number of supporters since mid-March, with 50.2 percent against and 47.0 percent in favor, according to data compiled by RealClearPolitics. This is a noticeable decrease from January when only 44.3 percent were opposed. The decline in approval ratings started early into Trump's presidency, even among his supporters who were put off by his initial actions. The proportion of those critical of him increased significantly in late February, particularly due to concerns over tariff threats and potential price increases. Despite announcing trade tariffs on April 2, Trump's popularity in his own country did not improve. In fact, the percentage of those disapproving rose above 50 percent on April 4. In comparison, during his first term in 2017, Trump began with lower approval ratings before gaining majority approval.

The Trump administration’s so-called reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world announced April 2 will raise government revenue in 2025 by $290 billion, or 0.95 percent of GDP, constituting the biggest tax hike since 1982. This is according to calculations by the Tax Foundation. While the U.S. government has claimed that tariffs are a tax on foreign entities, a tariff is paid by the importer, which could in the case of the new tariffs most likely be an American company. Tariffs are then expected to be passed on to that company’s clients and ultimately consumers to offset the importer’s higher cost. In any way, the tariff is completely or largely shouldered within the United States. While the Tax Foundation used conventional tariff revenue estimates for its calculation, the increase in government revenue according to the dynamic model would be somewhat lower, at $244 billion, as it takes into account tariff-related losses to the tax base in the form of lowered personal and business income. JPMorgan is even calling the new tariff regime the biggest tax hike since 1968, assuming that the overall U.S. tariff rate will increase to 22 pecent in 2025, while the Tax Foundation assumes 18.8 percent. The financial services firm also said that the announcement raised the risk of a global recession from 40% to 60 percent. Many organizations, including those known for more conservative standpoints, criticized the tariffs, with libertarian think tank Cato Institute also calling out the “massive tax increases” hidden in the new import duties. The Tax Foundation calculated that the tariffs would decrease the average U.S. after-tax income by 2.1 percent, with the burden a little lower on incomes in the 99th and 100th percentile at just 1.8 percent. The effective tax increase would amount to $2,100 per U.S. household in 2025, according to the calculations. Updated estimates of the effect on U.S. GDP and employment show that the April 2 tariffs would presumably lower GDP by 0.5 percent and cost almost 400,000 full-time equivalent jobs. This is in addition to existing tariffs on China (20 percent), Canada and Mexico (expected 12 percent on non-free trade agreement goods) as well as steel, aluminum and the automotive industry (25 percent) already amounting up to a 0.2% GDP and a 270,000 head-strong employment loss. For comparison, the release estimates that the 2018-19 Trump trade war with China shaved 0.2 percent off GDP and killed 142,000 jobs.

The S&P 500 briefly entered bear market territory on Monday, before the index clawed back some of the losses to end the day nearly flat and 17.6 percent below its February 19 high. A bear market is typically defined as a drop of 20 percent or more from and index's latest high - a fate that the S&P 500 avoided, at least for now. On Tuesday, stocks rebounded further, recovering some of the losses incurred after Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement. Hopes of possible tariff deals were enough to stop the selloff for now, but markets will likely remain volatile for as long as uncertainty over future tariffs prevails. As our chart shows, bear markets are relatively rare occurrences, with the S&P 500 suffering just seven such drawdowns in the past 50 years. The latest occurred in 2022, when inflation peaked in the United States and the Fed was forced to raise interest rates at a historic pace to counter surging prices. With a total drawdown of 25 percent, the 2022 bear market was relatively harmless, though, compared to peak-to-trough losses of 49 and 57 percent during the dot-com crash and the financial crisis of 2008, respectively.

As markets across Asia and Europe went from bad to worse on Monday, Wall Street is bracing for another day of selloffs after President Trump showed no signs of backpedaling in the wake of last week's tariff-induced market turmoil. After European stocks clawed back from steeper losses through the trading day on Monday, the S&P 500 opened at 4,954 points, down 2.4 percent from Friday's close and 12.6 percent from Wednesday's close, the last before Trump's "Liberation Day" announcements. Depending on how the day unfolds, the index could clock the worst three-day loss since the financial crisis, when the S&P 500 plummeted 14 percent over three trading days in October 2008. Considering the carnage we’ve seen over the last few weeks and since Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement in particular, it’s hard to imagine that the U.S. stock market was at an all-time just six weeks ago. Since February 19, when the S&P 500 closed at 6,144 points, the index has now dropped almost 20 percent, bringing it on the verge of bear market territory, which is commonly defined as a 20-percent drop from an index's latest high. As the following chart shows, the drop we’ve seen over the past six weeks is already among the larger market downturns of the 21st century, but it’s not yet as deep as the worst crises of the past 25 years. Considering how quickly investors turned sour and how far-reaching the consequences of Trump's latest tariff hikes are, the past three days could just be the beginning of a longer market depression though, as fears of a global recession are already mounting. While markets are reeling from the tariff panic, President Trump showed no signs of doubt over whether his protectionist push was the right move. The tariffs already in place are "a beautiful thing to behold," he wrote in a Truth Social post late on Sunday. "The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done decades ago," he added Monday morning, saying that "greatness" would be the eventual result.
