President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 90-day pause in his tariff plan against some countries. Stocks, which had fallen following news of his aggressive strategy, surged in response to the pause. Business leaders across the spectrum, from Bill Ackman to Mark Cuban, reacted disparately. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced via a social media post a plannedThe market, which had plummeted following news of the president's trade strategy, surged in response to the planned pause. Industry leaders from across the political spectrum gave their initial reactions:Bill AckmanBillionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman wrote in a post on X, "This was brilliantly executed by @realDonaldTrump. Textbook, Art of the Deal."Ackman had previously advocated for a pause in the tariffs' implementation "to enable negotiations to be completed without a major global economic disruption that will harm the most vulnerable companies and citizens of our country."Ackman called China a "bad actor." He wrote, "Advice for China: Pick up the phone and call the President. He is a tough but fair negotiator. The longer China holds out and retaliates, the worse the outcome for China."David SacksFormer PayPal executive David Sacks posted on X to declare Trump's reversal on tariffs a massive victory for the president."They did everything they could to create a panic," Sacks wrote. "They predicted a Black Monday that never came. They became jubilant over an intraday correction on Tuesday. They were rooting for Trump to fail even if it meant the market and economy crashed."Now a White House advisor, Sacks continued: "Fortunately their hopes have been dashed. Trump has been vindicated. China is isolated, and the rest of the world is lining up to negotiate new trade deals. Do you think this would have happened if Trump had asked nicely? Maybe if he had said pretty please? Never. This was the only way to rewrite the rules of global trade. Once again, Trump was right about everything!"Diane SwonkDiane Swonk, the chief economist of the professional services firm KPMG, wrote in a series of posts on X that, despite the news of the implementation pause, the country has "not escaped the tariff problems.""The effective tariff rate is actually HIGHER with the pause than it was as announced on April 2, due to the tariffs on China," Swonk wrote. "There will be some diversion through connector countries. However, the effective tariff rate now peaks at 30.5% during the pause. That is worse than our worst case scenarios."She added: "The tariff pause is a moving target and it given the high level of tariffs on China and 10% across the board plus potentially more in the pipeline, takes the effective tariff rate to a RECORD. The market must be hoping told all goes away." Spencer HakimianThe founder of the hedge fund Tolou Capital Management was not too pleased with the recent back-and-forth over Trump's tariffs, writing in a series of posts on X that we're now "back to square one" after Trump's latest reversal."Nothing accomplished. Nothing changed. But somehow we won. Nice," Hakimian wrote.In a separate post, Hakimian lamented the lack of clarity in Trump's tariff strategy, regardless of the economic outcome."Even if you support all of the past week. From the escalation to the walk back, although that's inherently contradictory to support both. Everyone admits that the rollout & rollback of all of this has been needlessly sloppy and unclear, correct? Or is that also some voodoo 8D chess strategy too?"Chris FralicChris Fralic, a partner at the venture capital firm First Round Capital, posted on X a screenshot of the tickers of several surging stocks, writing it's "Good to be liberated from Liberation Day.""If your portfolio drops by X% and then rises by X%, you'll still be below your starting point," Fralic wrote in a separate post. "The bigger the drop, the more pronounced this effect becomes. A 20% drop followed by a 20% rise leaves you at 96% of your original value."Mark CubanOver on Bluesky, "Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban re-posted a statement from economist Paulo dos Santos, which described Trump's tariffs asIn a separate post made just before Trump announced the tariff pause, Cuban wrote: "What some people aren't factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That's cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result."Ray DalioRay Dalio wrote in a post on X that he hoped all parties would "reconsider their approaches.""There are better and worse ways of handling our problems with unsustainable debt and imbalances, and President Trump's decision to step back from a worse way and negotiate how to deal with these imbalances is a much better way," wrote Dalio.The founder of Bridgewater Associates said he hopes that Trump will do the same with China — which is excluded from the 90-day reprieve. He said a deal with China should include a way to strengthen the renminbi against the dollar while easing China's fiscal and monetary policies to stimulate Chinese demand."This would be a win-win," Dalio added.Richard Branson"As I wrote earlier this week, this was a moment for the US administration to accept their mistake and change course," wrote Richard Branson in a post on X. "This reversal is a huge relief for the whole world,"Earlier this week, the founder of the Virgin Group had called on the US government to "own up to a colossal mistake."Kevin O'LearyIn a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump wrote that he'd raised his tariffs on China to 125% "based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World's Markets."But "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary said Trump should have pressed China harder by raising tariffs to 400%."China doesn't play fair, and it's time we stop letting them get away with it," O'Leary wrote on X hours after Trump's announcement.

By AJ Dellinger Published April 9, 2025 | Comments (29) | Elon Musk holding open a jack to reveal he is wearing a DOGE t-shirt © Oliver Contreras / AFP While it often seems that no one is watching the watchmen under the Trump administration, a new report from Wired suggests there is at least one agency still keeping tabs on the Department of Government Efficiency and its seemingly unfettered reach into the guts of government.  The publication, citing government records and sources, revealed that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) launched an investigation back in March into how Elon Musk’s pseudo-agency has been handling data in the offices that it has pried its way into. According to the report, the GAO has requested information from a number of agencies where DOGE has dug in its claws, including the Social Security Administration, the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Labor, and the Treasury. Included in the requests are any incident reports on “potential or actual misuse of agency systems or data,” as well as records of systems that DOGE has accessed, among other details. The audit, which comes from an agency that operates under the legislative branch, marks the first significant challenge to DOGE’s operations that has not come from the courts. Per Wired, the investigation—which is scheduled to wrap up by the end of spring and will produce a publicly accessible report of its findings—will focus primarily on DOGE’s adherence to privacy and data protection laws and regulations. The probe was reportedly spurred by requests from multiple agencies, meaning there are likely still people within the workforce who are at least a little skeptical of what Musk and the DOGE team are up to. While we’ll have to wait and see what exactly the GAO report says, there is little question that DOGE is operating on the “move fast and break things” principle and seems anxious to gain access to as much information as it can. Earlier this month, it was revealed Musk’s group was planning on trying to hack together a system that would make it easier to access taxpayer data. DOGE has seemingly been on a mission to gain access to as much personal information as it can while it digs around in government systems. The New York Times recently published a look at just what records DOGE may have been able to collect from different agencies, and it’s a lot—at least 314 different points of data, including things like medical notes, credit history, and biometric identifiers, just to name a few. Attempts to limit DOGE’s reach have had middling success thus far. While several courts have issued temporary blockages preventing DOGE from accessing certain information, higher courts have given it the go-ahead to move forward, and there isn’t a whole lot of hope that the Supreme Court would step in and stop it. Perhaps the GAO report will find evidence of malfeasance or reckless disregard for the rules that might provide enough reason to hit the brakes, but it seems like the train has already left the station, and it’s going to be hard to get it to come back.

Architecture for Contemplating the Landscape: 4 Scenic Viewpoints in Latin AmericaSave this picture!Espina Pavilion / Emiliano Domínguez + Santiago Martínez. Image © César BelioWhen designing spaces for viewing, architecture enters into a dialogue with the territory in an effort to understand the landscape and the enjoyment of reality, whether natural or built. Through an invitation to contemplate our surroundings, several architecture professionals in Latin America embark on the challenge of constructing structures that interact with nature, reinterpret certain building typologies, or become part of the learning and teaching of architecture for future generations. The wide variety of landscapes and cultures present in the Latin American context reflects the endless opportunities where architecture holds the potential to foster dialogue between the observer and the observed while drawing from the region’s deep connection with local flora, fauna, and other species.Although one of the definitions from the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) describes a mirador (or lookout) as "a well-situated place for contemplating a landscape or an event," the architectural characteristics of these spaces vary according to their geographical location, climate factors, local materials, and construction technologies, among others. The architecture of lookouts encompasses a range of typologies, from elevated platforms or roadside stops that offer viewing points over uneven terrain in mountains, riverbanks, or shorelines to placements at specific points, framed views, or cantilevered structures extending over cliffs. Whether gazing at the sea, an endless forest, a lake, or a city, the experience of observing from a different perspective is shaped by elements such as informational posts and orientation tables with signage, furniture and seating for resting and viewing, lighting, and binoculars, among other features. Save this picture!In his book "The Future of Architecture", Frank Lloyd Wright states, “If the thing is successful (the architect’s effort), you cannot imagine that house or that work being in any place other than exactly where it is. It is a grace to its surroundings, rather than a disgrace.” While it is true that the presence of lookouts often responds to an aesthetic or unique motivation that justifies their construction, in some cases, their placement is determined by technical, construction, or design parameters that go beyond the users’ perception. However, it is worth asking: how is the location of a lookout determined, and in which direction should it face? Can lookouts act as landscape generators? Can any point become a lookout?

In 21 m², Espina provides shade and offers a 360-degree panoramic view, aiming to connect its users with the landscape. The result is a multipurpose space consolidated between two concrete bases, elevated above the vegetation and extending from north to south to provide horizontal views to the east and west, capturing both sunrise and sunset.Save this picture!Mirador del Duende / Universidad Católica de PereiraPereira, ColombiaSave this picture!Located on the Lisbrán estate in La Florida, Risaralda, this lookout becomes a symbolic bridge between architecture and environmental education. Designed and built by architecture students, the project creates a tangible educational legacy that promotes efficient resource use, including the reuse of materials. Beyond serving as a viewpoint, the structure prioritizes the monitoring and management of the wetland at the mountain’s base, a vital part of the upper Otún River basin, which plays a crucial role in water collection for the city of Pereira.Save this picture!Learning Viewpoint / Al BordeGuayaquil, EcuadorSave this picture!Immersed in the vastness of the Bosque Protector Cerro Blanco, this lookout transforms into a classroom for the benefit of school groups, which represent the majority of the park’s visitors.

The project creates a new elevation for the city, transforming it into an urban gathering space and a gift to its inhabitants, where their experience, between solid and void, is defined by the quality of light. In this way, the lookout seeks a sense of measure, a scale that mediates between the sky, the tree canopy, and the existing platform.Save this picture!This article is part of an ArchDaily curated series that focuses on built projects from our database grouped under specific themes related to cities, typologies, materials, or programs. Every month, we will highlight a collection of structures that find a common thread between previously uncommon contexts, unpacking the depths of influence on our built environments.
