The National Park Services (NPS) has removed a prominent photo of Black abolitionist Harriet Tubman from its Underground Railroad webpage after President Donald Trump's executive order abolishing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

According to a snapshot of the webpage saved by Archive.org, the reference to Tubman was removed as early as March 25. It had been replaced with a smaller Tubman photo that included white abolitionists Catherine Coffin and Thomas Garrett.

By the end of the campaign, Trump backed off.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday morning to attack China and issue new trade threats.

"Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set," Trump promised, with randomly capitalized words.

MSNBC host and former Wall Street executive Stephanie Ruhle jumped all over Donald Trump on Monday morning as the stock market spiraled downward once again due to economic uncertainty over his wide-ranging tariff plans.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Ruhle, who spent 14 years working on Wall Street before leaving her job as a managing director at Deutsche Bank, criticized the president's blithe dismissal about the economic pain the country is experiencing while he was busy playing golf in Florida.

Speaking with the hosts, she explained, "I would just say the thing that's really alarming about what our government is doing is, think about this weekend. Over this weekend, I was talking to former colleagues of mine from Deutsche Bank saying, compare this weekend to where we were in 2008, right? That the famous 2008 weekend when traders were flooding back to trading desks to figure out what was their counterparty exposure to, to all other banks out there, how bad was it going to be?"

Stock market investments took a wild swing as the White House disavowed rumors that President Donald Trump was considering a 90-day pause on his trade war.

The Dow fell over 1,000 points just minutes after Monday's opening but swung into positive territory for a few seconds when some outlets reported rumors that White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said Trump was considering a tariff pause.

Donald Trump started his Monday morning repeatedly talking up his sweeping tariff plans as the stock market, once again, spiraled downward and could lead to a Republican "bloodbath" in the 2026 midterm election.

With the Dow Jones Indices dropping another 1,000 points moments after opening, Trump wrote on Truth Social, "The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!"

Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday said countries could not appease President Donald Trump — even if they reduce their tariffs on American goods all the way to zero.

Appearing on CNBC, Navarro was asked about Vietnam's offer to completely eliminate its tariffs on American goods. He said that was nowhere near enough of a concession to satisfy Trump and get him to back off his plans to reduce the massive 46 percent tariff he slapped on all their goods.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, a long-outspoken analyst of economic trends from Wall Street's perspective, sounded a dire warning this week that President Donald Trump's tariff regime could dismantle the economy as we know it — but more than one person brought receipts showing he was singing a different tune just a couple of months ago.

Dimon, one of a number of finance executives who are declaring a break-glass emergency, made his grim forecast in a letter to shareholders.

Hedge fund manager and prominent Donald Trump supporter Bill Ackman became a target for mockery on MSNBC on Monday morning after becoming the face of billionaire resistance to the president's tariff chaos.

With the stock market likely headed for another meltdown on Monday, after the president claimed over the weekend he has no intention of backing down despite pressure from Wall Street, Ackman had a meltdown of his own on social media.

“We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital,” he wrote on X, before adding that the president has put the country on the path to “a self-induced, economic nuclear winter.”

Ackman, previously a big supporter of the Democratic Party, grew to prominence during the run-up to the 2024 election after turning on President Joe Biden and embracing the MAGA-ethos of Trump in long, widely-shared posts supporting Trump's candidacy and trashing Democrats.

With the billionaire the focus of stories in both the Wall Street Journal and on CNBC on Monday morning, "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough singled him out for being taken in by Trump like so many others have.

"You know, there are some Republicans speaking out," Scarborough began. "[Iowa GOP Sen.] Chuck Grassley has spoken out about it. Ben Shapiro says it's unconstitutional."

"Bill Ackman, he saw the light," he continued before asking sarcastically, "How can Bill Ackman ever have seen this coming? How much, how can — oh wait a second, this is exactly what Donald Trump promised for years! In fact, he's been talking about this since 1987."

"So he believes in this, so people on Wall Street are going, '"Oh my god, I'm so shocked. How could this ever happen?" he joked.
