Is Trump actually playing a strategic ‘chess’ game—and are we all just pawns? On April 2, Trump unveiled sweeping new tariffs on foreign imports, calling the day “Liberation Day” for American industry. The move includes a 25% tariff on all foreign-made cars and a baseline 10% tariff on imports from every country not part of the USMCA trade deal—leaving the EU, UK, and others scrambling to respond. China, of course, fired back with a 34% tariff on U.S. goods. But as the political fallout begins to swirl, a viral social media theory is giving the chaos a dramatic twist.

Progressive Remark President reports peace International Manipur: Rift deepens between former CM N Biren Singh and NPP

N Biren Singh and the National People’s Party (NPP) is getting wider. The NPP President Yumnam Joykumar Singh had blamed the Biren government for letting Meitei radical group Arambai Tenggol attack Kuki people. Several protesters attempted to storm the residence of National People’s Party (NPP) Manipur unit president Yumnam Joykumar Singh on Friday, demanding an apology over his recent remarks on Meitei organisation Arambai Tenggol. The protesters tried to force their way into Joykumar’s home in Naoremthong but were stopped by police deployed in the area. The protests were triggered by a post on X, in which Joykumar had written, “Biren Ji misjudged the Kuki-Meitei conflict’s roots… Why did his government allow massive rallies, withdraw commandos from Churachandpur, and let groups like Arambai Tenggol attack Kukis?” After meeting the women group Joykumar told reporters that the issue stemmed from a “slight misunderstanding” and confirmed that Arambai Tenggol’s name had been removed from the original post. However, he refused to tender a public apology. Former Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh had recently asked Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma not to interfere in the internal matters of Manipur. Biren said that P.A. Sangma, the former Union Minister and Lok Sabha Speaker, had advocated a dangerous idea of breaking the northeast into smaller states along ethnic lines.

Manufacturing economy Election Trade President country Trump goes all in with bet that the heavy price of tariffs will pay off for Americans

Trump's move on Wednesday to place stiff new tariffs on imports from nearly all U.S. trading partners marks an all-in bet by the Republican that his once-fringe economic vision will pay off for Americans. It was the realization of his four decades of advocacy for a protectionist foreign policy and the belief that free trade was forcing the United States into decline as its economy shifted from manufacturing to services. The tariff announcement was the latest and perhaps boldest manifestation of Trump's second-term freedom to lead with his instincts after feeling his first turn in the Oval Office was restrained by aides who did not share his worldview. How it shakes out could be a defining judgment on his presidency. The early reviews have been worrisome. Financial markets had their worst week since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign trade partners retaliated and economists warned that the import taxes may boost inflation and potentially send the U.S. into a recession. It's now Republican lawmakers who are fretting about their party's future while Democrats feel newly buoyant over what they see as Trump's overreach.
