Trumps Tariffs & Market Volatility: Planning for What's Next

April 08, 2025

In this episode of Cut the Mic, Mike Hoeflich and Mike Lomas break down Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy, market volatility, and why tax cuts should be the real focus. The Mikes get candid about what the media won’t say: America’s been getting played on trade for decades—and both parties know it. They challenge the panic over tariffs, compare today’s market dip to past collapses, and explain how smart financial planning beats media hysteria every time. If you’re tired of political hypocrisy and want real conservative insight, this one’s for you.
