[b]Ken Griffin, Republican Megadonor, Is Wall Street’s Loudest Trump Critic.[/b]
“Few on Wall Street are willing to publicly lob any criticism at President Trump. Hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin is an exception. 
The founder and chief executive of investing giant Citadel, who is worth an estimated $50 billion and is among the largest Republican donors, has repeatedly voiced disagreement with Trump’s signature initiatives. Griffin has opined on everything from tariffs to mass deportations to the tax cuts and deficit impacts of the Republicans’ sprawling tax and spending legislation signed into law by Trump.”

[b]Tariffs in July hit 80% of cars and parts from Mexico and Canada—WSJ Editorial Board.[/b]
“Mr. Trump in March slapped 25% tariffs on autos and parts in the name of protecting national security. Oh no, an invasion of Mexican Chevys! Manufacturers rushed to import parts and stockpile inventory to dodge the tariffs, but they started to face the full tariff impact in July.
…
The biggest victims are U.S. auto makers because they rely heavily on North American supply chains.”

[b]Sorry, Inflation Still Lives—WSJ Editorial Board.[/b]
“Our friends on Wall Street and in Washington keep saying that inflation is vanquished as they hope—plead—for lower interest rates. Yet the economic data aren’t bearing out their optimism, as the Labor Department’s consumer price report for August revealed on Thursday.

Consumer prices climbed 0.4% in August and 2.9% over the past year, both the most since January. Price increases last month were broad-based, hitting food consumed at home (0.6%), alcohol (0.6%), children’s shoes (1.5%), clothing (0.5%), new cars (0.3%), used cars (1.0%), housing (0.4%), hotels (2.6%), vehicle repair (5.0%), air fares (5.9%) and more.”

[b]Trump’s Own Tweet Backfires on Him as Judge Delivers Harsh Loss on Fed.[/b]
“Yet buried in the ruling is an amusing tidbit worth highlighting: Judge Jia Cobb cited one of Trump’s own tweets to buttress the case that he’d acted unlawfully. The judge wrote that the timing of Trump’s initial tweet calling for Cook to resign suggested she’d been denied due process. Which opens a window into a bigger story: The lower courts are doing important work in creating concrete fact sets around Trump’s illegal actions that illustrate the deep rot of bad faith eating away at their core—thus exposing an essential element of his ongoing lawlessness.”

“Demand to lease industrial spaces — meaning warehouses that store everything from car parts to construction materials — shrank by 11.3 million square feet in the second quarter of 2025. That’s the first quarterly decline in 15 years. And yep, a lot of it has to do with that “T” word.”
