The stock market route continued today.

As expected, China announced retaliatory tariffs in response to those President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday.

Chinese leaders say they will impose a 34% tariff on all U.S. goods imported into China next Thursday. Apparently, Trump did not

think China would respond to his tariffs and tried to sound as if he was still in control of the

situation. Trump is spending a long weekend in

Florida, where he is attending the live golf tournament at his Doral Club. But at 825 this morning,

he reposted on his social media channel a video in which the narrator claimed that Trump is

crashing the markets on purpose.

The video claimed that legendary investor Warren Buffett

just said Trump is making the best economic moves he's seen in over 50 years.

It went on to explain how the secret game he's playing could make you rich. Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire

Hathaway quickly denied Buffett had said any such thing as the video claimed. All such reports

are false, it said. In March, Buffett called tariffs an act of war to some degree.

Then, about an hour before the U.S. markets opened, Trump posted on his social media

channel, China played it wrong. They panicked, the one thing they cannot afford to do.

About 20 minutes later, he posted, to the many investors coming into the United States

and investing massive amounts of money,

my policies will never change.

This is a great time to get rich,

richer than ever before.

When the markets opened, they plummeted again.
