The US stock market has suffered from increased volatility this year. Amid geopolitical concerns and brewing trade wars, Wall Street has been forced to embrace uncertainty. This has driven a concerning reality for Apple (AAPL), as its best day since 1998 was met with experts warning of a looming disaster for the stock. The iPhone developer was always poised to be one of the hardest companies hit by US President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariff plans. Indeed, the company reportedly filled cargo planes with products to prepare for the increase in import duties. That could be tied to a rather worrisome outlook for the stock’s 2025.

The market destruction caused by Donald Trump’s recent economic measures was temporarily lessened when various X accounts and news networks jumped on an apparently fake headline about a 90-day pause in tariffs. Various headlines claimed that National Economic Council Advisor Kevin Hassett said Trump was considering a 90-day pause in tariffs — except for on China. However, the information wasn’t true, and the White House eventually described the claim to CNBC as “ fake news .” Where did the story come from? “Walter Bloomberg,” the pseudonymous X user who uses the handle @DeItaone, was one of the major accounts who posted this claim, stating it was originally sourced from Reuters. Strangely, Reuters public reporting seems to reference a CNBC chyron.  Some who were watching CNBC, however, claim that the hosts were confused by the apparent news, and it didn’t seem to come from its reporting. CNBC was able to reach...

Trump held a meeting with his Cabinet on Monday, where he addressed his ongoing tariff plan. Before the meeting, Trump also said he would impose a 25% tariff on any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, the latest in a long line of tariffs. JUST IN: President Trump says tariffs will help lower taxes. — Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) March 24, 2025 Trump’s tariff plans have been analyzed and criticized by several experts since he returned to office this past January. While the 47th President claims the tariffs will ultimately benefit the US and taxpayers, many experts suggest it’s not that simple.
