On April 9, 2025, President Donald Trump addressed the nation via his social media platform, Truth Social, aiming to reassure Americans amidst ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges.
He posted: “BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!”​
This message comes in the wake of significant economic measures, including the imposition of a 10% tariff on all imports into the United States, as well as additional duties on goods from 185 countries. These actions have led to fluctuations in financial markets and heightened tensions with international trading partners.​
The President’s call for calm and optimism appears to be an effort to bolster consumer confidence and encourage investment during this period of economic adjustment.
The phrase “Now is a great time to buy” suggests an emphasis on stimulating domestic spending and investment.​
Reactions to the President’s statement have been mixed. Supporters view it as a necessary reassurance, promoting resilience and confidence in the nation’s economic policies. Critics, however, question the potential long-term impacts of the administration’s trade strategies and express concern over the immediate effects on both domestic and global economies.​
