Billionaire Bill Ackman warns Trump's tariff policies could trigger an 'economic nuclear winter,' while the administration stands firm despite market turmoil. Looks like it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all outta gum.

Hail to the Tariff Baby!

Alright listen up you primitive screwheads! Looks like things are about to get hairy and not in the way I like. Some Wall Street fat cat named Bill Ackman is squawking about how Trump's tariffs are gonna nuke the economy. Says we're headed for an 'economic nuclear winter.' Nuclear winter huh? Sounds chilly. Reminds me of that time I was in space fighting those alien bastards but hey at least they paid their dues in lead!

Trump's Trade Taekwondo!

This Ackman dude who apparently used to be on Team Trump is now saying these tariffs – a 10% hit on everything coming in – are turning the whole world against us. China's taking the biggest beating with 54% tariffs since January. They're not taking it lying down either! They're slapping 34% tariffs right back at us. It's a trade war baby! And war... war never changes. Unless you have a rocket launcher and a bad attitude. Then it changes a whole lot.

Wall Street's Gone Wild!

Last Friday Wall Street took a beating. Down 9.08%! That's like getting kicked in the nuts by a mutated pig! JP Morgan is now saying there's a 60% chance of a recession by the end of the year. Sixty percent? Those are rookie numbers! I've faced worse odds fighting hordes of aliens with nothing but a pistol and my good looks. And I always come out on top. But this is the economy we are talking about here so the stakes are quite different from what I am used to...

Confidence is Key or is it?

Ackman's saying Trump's losing the confidence of business bigwigs. 'Business is a confidence game,' he whines. Well duh! Everything's a confidence game. Especially when you're dealing with alien overlords and rigged casinos. He's worried about the little guy the low income consumers. Says this ain't what they voted for. I feel their pain. Nobody likes getting screwed over especially by something you thought was gonna help you. It's time to stop this madness.

Time Out or Fallout?

Ackman's got two words for Trump: 'Time out!' He wants a negotiation to fix these 'unfair' tariff deals. Otherwise it's 'economic nuclear winter' time. Translation: We're all gonna be eating dirt and fighting over scraps. I hate dirt so that’s not gonna happen. I need my steaks my cigars and my babes! Time to show them what I got!

Lutnick's Loose Cannon?

And guess what? Ackman's also taking shots at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accusing him of profiting from the potential economic apocalypse. Seems Lutnick's firm is betting on fixed income which means they win when the economy tanks. Ackman calls it an 'irreconcilable conflict of interest.' Lutnick's all like 'Bring it on!' Says the administration ain't backing down even if the market goes belly up. Well hot damn! Sounds like somebody needs a visit from the Duke. But for now I'm gonna go get laid.
