What can I say other than you should have trusted the plan and not been a "Panican."

Oh man, you mean when you look at the numbers, data, and facts that all of the hair-on-fire rhetoric was overblown?

With major indicators from April β€” the month of peak tariff uncertainty β€” now in, none show the kinds of recessionary or inflationary conditions implied by business and consumer surveys.

Why it matters: Warnings and anecdotes are taking on greater importance as signs of how tariffs are working their way through the economy.

The big picture: New data out Thursday showed steady retail sales and a surprising drop in wholesale prices in April. So far, so good.

Huh.

The bottom line: 'There is little evidence, so far, that tariffs are inflationary and instead profit margins are being squeezed. But as Walmart suggested Thursday morning, that is a situation that may not last long,' ING chief international economist James Knightley wrote in a note.

Plan trusters ... they seem to be being vindicated.

And you better believe MAGA had thoughts.

Let's hope they're right!
