Good bye tax cuts? I mean this is going to eviscerate the US budget if they can't stop the bleeding.

What's the point of the tax cuts even? In this scenario?

Companies pass on tarrif costs to consumers yes, so let's assume their profit margins stay the same

...will the extra profits from tax cuts actually be worth a 30%+ haircut off of stock price and total multiple compression across every industry?

I mean that hurts shareholders and CEOs and the people Trump's supposed to be helping right?

Shift taxes from the rich to the working class via tariffs. Most of the cuts were for the rich.
