Trump Issues Statement the Morning After ‘Liberation Day’: ‘The Operation Is Over’

the article discusses President Donald Trump’s recent proclamation regarding new tariffs on imports, which he refers too as “liberation Day.” Trump claims these tariffs, including a 34% tax on Chinese imports and a 20% tax on goods from the European Union, are necessary to address unfair trade practices that have harmed American taxpayers for decades. He expressed optimism that even though the U.S. economy may experience short-term difficulties, it will ultimately emerge stronger and more resilient.

Following the announcement, the U.S. stock market reacted negatively, with meaningful drops in major indices like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Trump’s comments about “healing” imply that while the economy may be in pain now, it is undergoing a recovery that will lead to future growth. The article also notes that the global financial markets are experiencing similar volatility due to the tariff situation, illustrating the broader impact of Trump’s trade policies.


The dust has settled, plans are in motion, and the “healing” has begun — and that’s coming straight from President Donald Trump.

Trump took to his platform to make a triumphant post that “Liberation Day” has come and gone successfully.

As the Associated Press noted, on Wednesday, Trump officially slapped a fresh round of tariffs on countries that he deemed were unfairly using tariffs themselves against America.

According to Trump, the “country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered” by other nations in trade and tariffs.

The president dubbed Wednesday’s announcement of these reciprocal tariffs at the Rose Garden as “Liberation Day.”

Reciprocal tariffs include 34 percent tax on Chinese imports and 20 percent on European Union imports.

Trump stressed that these tariffs would ultimately be a boon for American taxpayers.

“Taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years,” Trump contended. “But it is not going to happen anymore.”

In the meanwhile, however, there may be some “healing” pains, and that’s also coming straight from Trump:

“THE OPERATION IS OVER!” Trump posted in his trademark all-caps. “THE PATIENT LIVED, AND IS HEALING.

“THE PROGNOSIS IS THAT THE PATIENT WILL BE FAR STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE RESILIENT THAN EVER BEFORE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Trump’s remark about “healing” appears to be a nod to some of the aftermath of “Liberation Day,” namely a volatile shake-up at the stock market.

While the tariffs have worldwide implications, the effect on the American stock market has been particularly significant, as the AP pointed out.

“The S&P 500 was down 4.3 percent in morning trading, more than other major stock markets … The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1,538 points, or 3.6 percent, as of 10:55 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 5.6 percent lower,” the outlet reported Thursday.

Sticking with the president’s analogy, with the operation over and the patient alive, typically there’s going to be some painful recovery and recuperation post-surgery.

With the current state of the U.S. stock market, America seems to be smack dab in the middle of a painful recovery, but Trump seems adamant that things will be far “stronger, bigger, better, and more resilient” economically.

But Trump’s “Liberation Day” is also making sure that whatever potential pains Americans face will also be felt by people across the globe.

According to The New York Times, the market volatility has been similar throughout the world, including across Asia and Europe.
