Trump Just Did WHAT With Tariffs?! MJ Weighs In!

I'm Back...To Talk Trade?

Alright alright hold up. Michael Jordan here. You know me I usually stick to basketball maybe a little golf and definitely staying undefeated when it comes to trash talk. But this whole tariff situation with Trump? Even I gotta weigh in. Seems like the guy's playing a little hardball or maybe just air balling it. Either way let's see what's going on because 'Republicans buy sneakers too.'

Ninety Days? That's Like a Timeout Before the Finals!

So Trump's chilling out a bit right? Dropping tariffs to 10% for a lot of countries and giving everyone a 90 day 'pause.' Ninety days? That's like a timeout before the fourth quarter of the Finals. You gotta use that time wisely strategize and come back stronger. But here’s the thing: is he planning the next play or just stalling for time? I played both games so I know the difference.

China? Seems Like He's Got Beef And Not the Good Kind.

Now China? That's a different story. Cranked the tariffs up to 125% effective 'immediately.' Ouch. Sounds like someone’s got a serious case of the 'flu game' but not with the flu with trade. Says it’s about a 'lack of respect' for world markets. Tell me about it. That’s like showing up to a game without your shoes. Unacceptable! I take it personally I have a shoe company.

Howard Lutnick? Never heard of him.

So I saw that Howard Lutnick guy Commerce Secretary chirping about how Trump's Truth Social post was 'extraordinary.' Listen the only extraordinary posts I care about are the ones where my Jumpman logo is soaring higher than the competition. And Scott Bessent? Another guy I've never heard of. These people are not on my radar.

Markets Going Wild! Is It a Slam Dunk or a Flop?

The stock market's jumping around like it just won the championship. S&P 500 up 7%? That's a lot! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We've seen these kinds of rallies before. Just because the crowd's going wild doesn't mean it's a guaranteed win. I've seen plenty of games where the momentum shifts quicker than you can say 'I'm back.' You need to focus execute and stay in the game.

The Last Shot?

At the end of the day this whole tariff tango is a high stakes game. Trump's making moves China's reacting and the rest of the world's watching. Let's hope he's got a plan because in this game like in basketball you gotta want to take that last shot the game winner or you'll always wonder whether you could have. Let's just hope he doesn't dribble off his foot...or worse air ball it. I never air balled it at least never when it counted.
