Everything we know about what Trump's 'Liberation Day' will look like

Days of rapid-fire developments raised the stakes for President Trump's coming promise of vast new tariffs. But it provided even less clarity on what he will actually implement as his self-imposed deadline looms in just two days.

Perhaps the only thing clear at this point is that a dizzying array of options remain on the table for what Trump calls "Liberation Day."

On Monday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump would announce the details of his tariffs Wednesday in a Rose Garden event before his cabinet.

She deferred repeatedly when asked about the president's plans but added that trading partners like the European Union, Japan, India, and Canada have shown "disdain for the American worker" and said that there would be "no exemptions at this time" for groups like farmers. She also downplayed recent stock market declines.

The slobfather loves the American worker so much he's going to raise their cost of living.

I feel like it's better than a 50/50 bet that he'll "postpone" all or most of them. Scrivener7 Monday #1

Definitely. He did this last time. And it worked, so now he's doing it on a larger scale. Scrivener7 Monday #4

OR, he'll rescind tariffs on any country that flatters him.

His threats caused a deep nosedive. I suspect all his buddies bought at the bottom.

If he announces some sort of a "resolution" to the threats, or some softening, it will cause the market so soar. Everyone will make out like bandits.

And the press never mentions it.
