The stock market hates, and punishes, uncertainty.
With all the back and forth on tariffs and international affairs, and the present defensive tone of the US administration on a potential recession, the stock market will tank, and then the economy will follow.

Be prepared if you can.
Yeah but didn’t you know that a recession is a good thing? That’s the latest messaging from the right. Recessions are good. Soon they will be telling us that inflation is also good.
I doubt this is an original thought but I am starting to wonder if part of the reason President Musk is doing this to our economy is to force the Fed to lower interest rates. I think the billionaire class is cynical enough to crash the economy so they can get better borrowing rates.
Anyway, OP, recessions and perhaps even depression are good now—try and keep up.

Recession is good because it will inflict pain on liberals. Trump is the perfect candidate to do that, because he doesn’t have re-election concerns, and he may not live long as an 80 year old. The suicide bomber type of presidency is what’s needed to reset the America, so true patriots can ride tractors and retake the nation.
This is also hurting Trump's Cabinet members! Kash Patel and Linda McMahon both received lots of Truth Social stock recently (because, you know, it is typical for Presidential cabinet members to receive stock in the President's publicly traded company). Truth social stock is tanking too. So, they're hurting along with us.
This is what happens when you turn off the money printing machine that was giving free money to everyone including millions of illegals.
I'd rather take a 6% drop in the stock market over the 30% devaluing of the dollar under Bidenflation.
Oh don't worry, BOTH will happen + a contraction of the economy on top of that. Rejoice!
No, the government will not print trillions of extra dollars this time. Trump fell for that in 2020 and is wiser now.
What will mainly happen (if your recession panic comes true) is the same as the early 90s: non-essential white collar jobs get the axe. That's not me so who cares. I keep making money, inflation ends, the stock market temporarily is lower, I buy in and make $$$ on the rebound, particularly domestic industries revitalized by the tariffs.
S and P is double what it was in the 2020 dip, and you're trying to scare me with 6%? Get a clue

No doubt, looking at cyclical names the recession watch is officially on. Not just a softening 10-yr yield but the 3 month to 3-year curve (Fed preference) is inverted again. Yes, tariffs and trade policies and cutting government spending all provide a lack of clarity, which will exacerbate the decline, but, more importantly, Trump knows a recession is already baked in (ISM surveys and other forward looking surveys said growth was slowing before he took office) and better to get it out of the way early so as to recover from it mid-term.
This will also allow for tax cuts and monetary easing from the Fed, which we will get if the recession is obvious. I don’t think Bessant has this right. Even if tax cuts spur the economy, and they will, it’s hard to bridge that gap w the timing. But, as usual with the disingenuous politics of this board, this recession was already in the offing pre-Trump. We should’ve already had it with the two year inverted curve environment under Biden, but we threw too much government stimulus at the economy. Which is not a healthy and sustainable dynamic longer term. The Covid stimulus should’ve been a one-year event, not a three-year event.
As far as the market, sentiment is really negative now and the $VIX almost hit 30 today, so a rebound in the near future shouldn’t be unexpected.

Its common knowledge that only liberals are hurt by recessions.

Trump is going to give you huge drop in the stock market AND 30% devaluation of the dollar. Trumponomics in action!
Trump can fix everything, and everything will be back to normal in April. Ukraine war will stop, Gaza will be under US control, Mexico/Canada/China will agree to pay tribute to Trump, stock market will be record high, unemployment rate will be record low. Everything will happen when Trump is back in the White House, just like a miracle.
