A huge percentage of their headlines as of this writing are about how President Trump is tearing up the world economic order with his announcement Wednesday—“Liberation Day”—with his tariffs and how everything is going to cost you much more.

Here are just a few of CNN’s doomsday headlines:
- This is the dubious way Trump appears to have calculated his ‘reciprocal’ tariffs
- Trump’s tariffs will cost US households an estimated $2,100 per year
- Here’s what could soon cost you a lot more because of Trump’s massive tariffs

Not everybody is running around like chickens with their heads cut off, however; in fact, over at General Motors, they’ve decided to ramp up truck production in the U.S. and hire hundreds of workers in Indiana:
The major automaker is adding several hundred temporary workers to maximize production of light-duty trucks at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly plant, the company told FOX Business.
“We continuously update and revise production schedules as part of our standard process of evaluating and aligning to manage vehicle inventory,” General Motors said in a statement, adding that its operational adjustments at Fort Wayne will “support current manufacturing and business needs.”
Indiana Republican Senator Jim Banks was pumped: “Today’s announcement from General Motors is great news for Hoosiers. It hasn’t even been 24 hours and President Trump’s plan is already delivering for working families in Indiana in a big way.”
