The article from Business Insider discusses the potential impacts of former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on the stock market and investment strategies, particularly in the context of a potential 2025 election win. Trump's suggested tariffs, including a 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, could lead to higher inflation and disrupt global trade.

The article also highlights the uncertainty and potential volatility in the market, urging investors to stay informed and flexible in their investment approaches.
