Fears of Trump's trade wars and tariffs have sparked stock market volatility and raised concerns over the future of the U.S. economy.

We speak to a Wall Street veteran about why he says Americans should not be worried about the economy.

He believes Trump's pro-growth policies like tax cuts and deregulation could ultimately benefit the economy

and the American taxpayer. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire, editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Saturday,

March 22nd, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

Joining us to discuss what we can expect for the economy is CEO of Strategic Wealth Partners, Mark Tepper.

Mark, thanks so much for coming on.

Thank you, Georgia. I appreciate it. Looking forward to this.

So let's just start with some recent stock market volatility. Just in the past month,

there's been not a catastrophic dip, but a significant dip that's

caused a lot of fear around Trump's so-called trade wars. How spooked should we be about the stock

market? Well, look, I think if you rewind back to Trump Tariff's 1.0, fourth quarter of 2018,

top to bottom, stocks fell about about 19.9%. And right before they hit

20%, they started to reverse course. And then you fast forward to 2019, the S&P was up around 30%.

So what I would say is that when you look at what's going on with tariffs, obviously it's creating

a lot of uncertainty, which is causing a lot of fantastic stocks to pull back or sell off.

That's presenting good buying opportunities because when you look at policy uncertainty, which

is at its second highest level on record, second to only the lockdowns of 2020.

Whenever you have a policy uncertainty, this high forward-looking returns in the stock market

over the next three, six, and 12 months are substantially above average.

So look, I'm viewing this as a buying opportunity.

I'm trying to pick off my favorite high conviction names and add to them where appropriate.
