TARIFF TORNADO! TRUMP’S NEW THREAT COULD RAISE OIL PRICES TO SKY-HIGH!
Hold onto your wallets, folks! Former President Donald Trump is back in the limelight, and he’s swinging his tariff hammer once again! This time, he’s aiming at any nation daring to import BLACK GOLD from Russia. The goal? To push dictator Vladimir Putin back to the drawing board in the war he ignited in Ukraine. But beware — this bold move could jettison oil prices past the $90-per-barrel mark this year! Will Trump fold if his own voters feel the pinch? It’s a HIGH-STAKES DRAMA unfolding right before our eyes!
ECONOMIC EARTHQUAKE! STAGFLATION FEARS REVEALED!
The financial markets are shaking, and it’s no surprise! The S&P 500 plunged 2% as bad news echoed in the air. The cause?
