Consumer Tech News (Mar 10-Mar 14): Manus AI Creating Hype, Tesla Eyes Affordable Version Model Y In China & More

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed a review of military standards related to physical fitness and appearance, signaling potential changes to recent policies designed to increase diversity and inclusion.
The review, <a href="https://media.defense.gov/2025/Mar/12/2003666182/-1/-1/1/RAPID-FORCE-WIDE-REVIEW-OF-MILITARY-STANDARDS-OSD001952-25-RES-FINAL.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordered</a> late Wednesday in a memo, focuses on physical fitness, body composition, and grooming guidelines, including beard policies across all military services.
&#8220;We must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the men and women of our military to protect the American people and our homeland as the world&#8217;s most lethal and effective fighting force,&#8221; the memo read.
Hegseth&#8217;s directive to the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness aims to examine the evolution of these standards since January 2015, when the military opened all combat roles to women, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5196183-military-standards-review/?tbref=hp" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44346571/trade-war-may-boost-airbus-over-boeing-aercap-ceo-says-no-ones-going-to-want-to-pay-that" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trade War May Boost Airbus Over Boeing — AerCap CEO Says &#8216;No One&#8217;s Going To Want To Pay That&#8217;</a>
The memo highlights concerns about maintaining high standards that ensure military readiness and effectiveness.
Hegseth&#8217;s recent statements suggest a desire to tighten standards, particularly in response to what he claims are loosened requirements for physical fitness and body composition to meet diversity quotas.
He has previously criticized changes, such as higher body fat limits for recruits, and questioned the inclusion of women in combat roles, although he later pledged to ensure women have equal access to these positions as long as standards remain high.
The review will also likely address changes in grooming policies, including relaxed rules on hairstyles and appearance, aimed at accommodating diverse service members, particularly those in the Army.
The outcome of the review could result in stricter regulations across the military.
&#8220;Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are not growing less challenging. This review will illuminate how the Department has maintained the level of standards required over the recent past and the trajectory of any change in those standards,&#8221; the memo added.

Pentagon Orders Review of Fitness and Grooming Standards

In a world of ever-changing investment landscapes, the enduring wisdom of the late investment expert and Warren Buffett&#8216;s partner, Charlie Munger, continues to guide investors towards better investment results.
What Happened: Munger&#8217;s investment philosophy, which focused on capitalizing on market inefficiencies and steering clear of common mistakes that often ensnare investors. Munger&#8217;s belief was that wealth accumulation was not solely about making astute investment choices, but also about evading errors that could diminish wealth.
Munger warned about the dangers of emotional decision-making, a frequent obstacle in investing. He stressed the significance of a logical approach to business and investing, urging investors to cultivate a disciplined, rational mindset towards their financial choices.
"A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price. If you're not willing to react with equanimity to a market price decline of 50% two or three times a century, you're not fit to be a common shareholder, and you deserve the mediocre result you're going to get," Munger said during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytGa7WR_UmI">interview</a>.  
Munger also cautioned investors about the perils of market timing. He was of the opinion that a steady presence in the market usually outperforms efforts to time market entries and exits. He championed a buy-and-hold strategy, highlighting the strength of patience and long-term vision in investing.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43581818/charlie-mungers-four-life-lessons-consume-less-than-you-accumulate-invest-judiciously-persistently-learn-and-uphold-discipline">Charlie Munger&#8217;s Four Life Lessons: &#8216;Consume Less Than You Accumulate, Invest Judiciously, Persistently Learn, and Uphold Discipline&#8217;</a>
Finally, Munger emphasized the importance of achieving the right balance in diversification. He warned against both over-diversification and under-diversification, advocating for a balanced approach that is adapted to individual situations.
&#8220;Wide diversification, which necessarily includes investment in mediocre businesses, only guarantees ordinary results," he said. 
He was convinced that identifying the right degree of diversification could potentially improve risk-adjusted returns and construct a more robust portfolio.
Why It Matters: Munger&#8217;s advice remains relevant in today&#8217;s volatile investment environment. His emphasis on rational decision-making, consistent market presence, and balanced diversification provides a roadmap for investors navigating the complexities of the market. 
His wisdom serves as a reminder that avoiding common investment pitfalls is as crucial as making smart investment decisions for wealth creation.

D-Wave Quantum And IonQ Are Among Top Mid-Cap Stock Gainers Last Week (Mar 10-Mar 14): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Netflix Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) new high-budget film &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; has received a tepid response from critics, despite the streaming service reportedly investing hundreds of millions in its production.
What Happened: The sci-fi movie, which premiered on Friday, has garnered a score of a mere 17% from 69 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and is directed by the Russo brothers, who are renowned for their contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Estimates indicate that the film&#8217;s budget could have reached $320 million, positioning it among the most costly movies ever produced. 
This figure significantly surpasses the combined budgets of the 10 most recent Oscar winners for best picture, which collectively amount to less than $230 million, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-electric-state-netflix-budget-critics-reviews-2025-3">report</a>I Insider.
The Russo brothers have previously achieved success with high-budget films, including&nbsp;&#8220;Captain America: The Winter Soldier,&#8221;&nbsp;which grossed $714 million worldwide&nbsp;on a reported $170 million&nbsp;budget.

 However, their recent endeavors&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly on streaming platforms, have not been as fruitful.
&#8220;The Electric State&#8221; is an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag&#8217;s 2018 illustrated novel of the same title, but critics have labeled the film as &#8220;derivative&#8221; and &#8220;soulless,&#8221; with &#8220;mind-numbingly repetitive&#8221; action sequences.
Netflix and the Russo brothers&nbsp;have not yet issued any comments in response to these critiques.
Why It Matters: The lukewarm reception of &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; raises questions about the sustainability of high-budget productions for streaming services. Despite the massive investment, the film&#8217;s poor critical response could impact its viewership and return on investment. 
This could potentially influence Netflix&#8217;s future decisions regarding the allocation of its budget for film productions. 
The Russo brothers&#8217; recent lackluster performances&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe&nbsp;also suggest a need for a strategic reassessment of their projects.

Applovin, Super Micro Computer And Intel Among Top 10 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Mar 10-Mar 14): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

The past week has been a whirlwind of news for&nbsp;Tesla, Inc., with the electric vehicle giant making headlines for a variety of reasons. From a surprising switch in Baltimore to allegations of rebate manipulation in Canada, Tesla&#8217;s journey has been anything but smooth. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia&#8217;s ride-hailing giant,&nbsp;Grab Holdings, is making strides in the autonomous vehicle sector. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Baltimore Ditches Tesla for Ford
In a surprising turn of events, the city of Baltimore has decided to reverse a deal with Tesla that was set in 2024. The city had initially planned to use Tesla&#8217;s electric vehicles for police and other government officials. However, the deal has now been cancelled, with no political reasons cited for the change.

Tesla Accused Of Gaming Canada&#8217;s EV Rebate Program

Trump&#8217;s Tesla Purchase Could Boost Sales

Musk&#8217;s Optimism Vs Munster&#8217;s Prediction

Tesla's Rollercoaster Ride, Grab's Autonomous Ambitions: This Week In Mobility

In the aftermath of US airstrikes in Yemen, which led to a minimum of 31 fatalities, the Houthi rebel group has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41196317/trump-urges-israel-to-target-iran-nuke-sites-hit-nuclear-first-and-worry-about-the-rest-later">issued a warning of retaliation.</a>
What Happened: A series of airstrikes were launched by the US in Yemen on Saturday. This resulted in the death of at least 31 individuals and left 101 others injured, as per the Houthi health ministry. The Houthi group has promised to react with &#8220;more escalation.&#8221;
President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered the airstrikes on regions in Yemen under Houthi control. He pledged to use "overwhelming lethal force" until the rebel group stopped attacks on shipping along a crucial maritime corridor.
As per the report <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/houthis-vow-retaliate-us-strikes-death-toll-rcna196605">by </a>NBC News, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran and have seized a part of Yemen including its capital, Sanaa, started launching missiles and drones as a response to the war in Gaza. The group reported explosions in Sanaa and Saada, a Houthi stronghold near the Saudi border, with additional airstrikes early Sunday.
Nasr el-Din Amer, the Houthi spokesperson, revealed that the majority of the casualties from the airstrikes were women and children. The Houthis have committed to continuing their operations "until the blockade on Gaza is lifted."
Trump also issued a warning to Iran to stop supporting the rebel group, holding the country "fully accountable" for the actions of its proxy Houthi group. Iran provides the Houthis with financial support, training, and equipment.

In a Truth Social post, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114167864888304754">wrote</a>, &#8216;To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won't be nice about it!&#8217;
Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, declared that Iran would "respond decisively and destructively" to any enemy threats. However, he also distanced Iran from the Houthis, emphasizing that the group makes their strategic decisions independently.
Why It Matters: The escalating tensions and threats of retaliation from the Houthi group highlight the volatile situation in Yemen. The US airstrikes and the subsequent response from the Houthis have intensified the conflict in the region. 
This development could potentially impact the geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, with the involvement of Iran adding another layer of complexity. 
The US&#8217;s stance against Iran&#8217;s support for the Houthis also underscores the strained relations between the two nations.

Softbank's AI Data Center, Block's AI Boost, Altman's Warning, Nvidia's Valuation Drop, And Apple's Fumble: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

A small business owner recently took to Reddit to vent about an employee who couldn't understand why his hours were being cut. The reason was indeed &#8220;because of the tariffs,&#8221; but the employee was baffled.
&#8220;He asked, condescendingly, why Canada and China having to pay us an extra tax would slow down sales on the consumer end,&#8221; the business owner wrote. &#8220;Said it shouldn't make a difference on packaging.&#8221;

</ul>
The <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1j9c3an/does_anybody_else_have_that_employee_or_those/">post</a> titled, &#8220;Does anybody else have that employee, or those employees, who just can't grasp the impact of the tariffs?&#8221; shared on r/smallbusiness, quickly gained traction, sparking a heated discussion about tariffs, economic literacy, and the real-world consequences of policy decisions. Many commenters expressed frustration over how common it is for people to misunderstand tariffs and taxes in general.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Really Pays the Price?</h2>
For years, some politicians have claimed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42383874/expert-slams-trumps-tariff-policies-as-completely-and-utterly-wrong-but-says-we-dont-think-they-are-going-to-do-anything">tariffs are a tax on foreign countries</a>. But business owners and economists alike know that's not how it works. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44070257/warren-buffett-calls-tariffs-an-act-of-war-warns-they-function-as-a-tax-on-goods-amid-market-turmoil">Tariffs are a tax on imports</a>, which means U.S. businesses pay more for the goods they bring in. Those higher costs then get passed on to consumers or result in businesses cutting expenses—like labor.
&#8220;I had just placed a few orders at increased pricing, so I gave him the most top-to-bottom explanation I could,&#8221; the Reddit poster continued. &#8220;He was shocked that tariffs were just an extra tax on us and that the U.S. doesn't just have the capability to produce EVERYTHING.&#8221;
That realization hit hard. &#8220;At the end, he said that's not what he thought when he voted for them.&#8221;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elon-musk-told-the-u-n-if-they-could-show-a-plan-for-ending-world-hunger-hed-donate-6-billion-i-will-sell-tesla-stock-right-now-and-do-it">Elon Musk Told The U.N. If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Issue</h2>
The post resonated with many small business owners who have struggled to explain basic economic concepts to employees, customers, and even fellow business owners.
&#8220;The amount of time I have spent explaining how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/01/42757069/i-dont-care-what-tax-bracket-youre-in-suze-orman-insists-youd-be-crazy-to-have-anything-other-than-a-roth-retirement-account">tax brackets</a> work to people and their inability to grasp the concept is astonishing,&#8221; one commenter wrote.
Another chimed in: &#8220;Most people don't even understand their own income taxes. Corporate taxes and international business are way outside of their comfort zone.&#8221;
Others pointed out that financial education in schools is lacking, leaving many Americans ill-equipped to understand economic policies that affect them.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Real-World Consequences</h2>
Tariffs aren't just abstract political debates—they have tangible effects on businesses and workers. Several small business owners in the thread shared how tariffs have disrupted their supply chains, raised costs, and led to layoffs.
One business owner in the solar industry said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">tariffs on aluminum and steel</a> have made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/tech/25/02/43943892/from-tariffs-to-funding-freezes-solar-installs-are-getting-pricier-save-up-to-4000-with-monalee-befo">solar panel installations significantly more expensive</a>. &#8220;The average residential system now costs an extra $2,000,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;Tried to explain it to [my manager], and he argued that customers shouldn't be paying the price for tariffs. Don't really have much of a choice when our material prices go up 20%+.&#8221;
Another commenter shared that their company had to lay off nearly half its staff due to declining sales and uncertainty caused by tariffs. &#8220;Our domestic sales have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43949339/consumer-confidence-plummets-in-february-sharp-decline-marks-third-consecutive-monthly-drop">fallen off a cliff</a> since the third quarter. At least 65% month to month. International sales are far worse.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Misinformation and Frustration</h2>
A recurring theme in the discussion was frustration over how tariffs are portrayed in politics and the media. Many commenters blamed politicians for spreading misinformation about who actually pays tariffs.
&#8220;The number of people who couldn't even be bothered to Google ‘How do tariffs work?' in the fall is astounding,&#8221; one user commented.
Another pointed out that even high-ranking officials seem confused about tariffs. &#8220;My own congresswoman does not understand how tariffs work, which is ridiculous.&#8221;
Some argued that the confusion isn't accidental. &#8220;Almost all the politicians understand. They just know it's better for them to play dumb,&#8221; one commenter suggested.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lesson in Economics</h2>
For the small business owner who started the discussion, the experience has been eye-opening—but also exhausting. &#8220;I'm sick of explaining tariffs and wish that people were better at doing their own research,&#8221; he admitted.

'Wait, Tariffs Are Just A Tax On Us?'—Employee Shocked As Small Business Owner Cuts His Hours 'Because Of The Tariffs'

The week was a rollercoaster ride in the world of cryptocurrency. From a trader&#8217;s devastating $5 million loss in meme coins to the nearing conclusion of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, the crypto space was buzzing with activity. The introduction of the Bitcoin Act of 2025 in the House of Representatives and Binance CEO&#8217;s optimism about pro-crypto policies also made headlines. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Trader&#8217;s $5 Million Loss In Meme Coins
A trader, known only as 0xforeverblind, turned nothing into a whopping $5 million during the crypto bull run, only to lose it all in meme coins.

Ripple-SEC Lawsuit Nears Conclusion
The long-standing legal battle between the SEC and&nbsp;Ripple Labs&nbsp;over the alleged $1.3 billion unregistered XRP sale may soon come to an end. The key point of contention is whether XRP's utility and trading status align more with a commodity, like Ethereum, rather than a security.

Amidst all this, there was a glimmer of hope as tech stocks and Bitcoin rebounded following Ukraine&#8217;s acceptance of a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal with Russia.
Recession Fears Drive Markets Lower
The Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500, saw significant declines this week, with tech giants like Tesla, Inc. and Palantir Technologies, Inc. leading the downward trend. President Donald Trump&#8217;s acknowledgment of a potential U.S. recession in a Fox News interview added to the market&#8217;s concerns.

China Imposes Tariffs On Major US Agricultural Imports
In retaliation to President Donald Trump&#8217;s additional 10% levy on Chinese imports, China imposed tariffs on major U.S. agricultural imports, including soybeans.

Elon Musk's Tariff Concerns For Tesla And Space, Trade Tensions, And Government Shutdown Threats: This Week In Politics

Elon Musk shared a throwback on X, recalling a 2009 lunch where legendary investor Charlie Munger told a table full of people that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43531005/elon-musk-recalls-a-lunch-where-charlie-munger-listed-all-the-reasons-tesla-would-fail-made-me-quite-sad-but-i-told-him-i-agreed">Tesla was destined to fail</a>. Musk, always blunt about Tesla's early struggles, admitted at the time that the odds were stacked against the company.&nbsp;
But despite Munger's doubts, Musk pushed forward. Years later, even Munger had to admit that Tesla's success was nothing short of a "minor miracle."
Yet, for all his skepticism about Tesla, Munger wasn't against all electric vehicles. In fact, he was one of the biggest advocates for BYD, a Chinese EV and battery manufacturer that Berkshire Hathaway backed. Munger raved about BYD's achievements, calling it his "best investment" shortly before his death in 2023.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Genius Who Overestimates Himself</h2>
Munger's views on Musk were always a mix of admiration and caution. At the 2014 Daily Journal shareholders meeting, he acknowledged Musk's intelligence but also pointed out his tendency to push the limits of reality.
"He's a genius, and I don't use that word lightly," Munger said. "He's also one of the boldest men who ever came down the pike. So put me down as saying I've always been afraid of the guy whose IQ is 190 and he thinks it's 250." He elaborated,&nbsp; "I like to think there's a little of that risk with Elon. He is a certified genius."
By 2020, Munger hadn't changed his stance much. At the Daily Journal shareholders meeting that year, he made it clear that while he wouldn't bet against Musk, he wasn't buying Tesla stock either. "My thoughts are two," Munger said. "I would never buy [Tesla], and I would never sell it short."

Then came his now-famous warning: "Never underestimate the man who overestimates himself."
Munger acknowledged that Musk's confidence bordered on delusion—but sometimes, those delusional thinkers change the world.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Munger Loved BYD but Snubbed Tesla</h2>
If Munger was so skeptical of Tesla, why was he all-in on BYD? In short, he saw BYD as a company with strong fundamentals, disciplined leadership, and a clear business strategy.&nbsp;
At the <a href="https://buffett.cnbc.com/video/2009/05/02/afternoon-session---2009-berkshire-hathaway-annual-meeting.html">2009 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting</a>—the same year as his notorious lunch with Musk—Munger marveled at BYD's rapid ascent, labeling it "unbelievable."
"They went into the automobile business with zero experience, very little capital, and they still created the best-selling model in China. This is not normal. This is a damn miracle," he said.
Munger saw BYD as a disciplined company that methodically built itself up, while Tesla, in his eyes, was fueled by Musk's relentless overconfidence.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Legacy of Munger's Tesla Criticism</h2>
Tesla has had its ups and downs since that 2009 lunch. It defied the odds to become a global powerhouse, but in 2025, it's facing a sharp decline. Tesla's stock has dropped nearly 50% since mid-December, with analysts pointing to a mix of factors, including Musk's divisive political stances, declining global sales, and increased competition in the EV market. Some investors, like Ross Gerber, believe the company could face further struggles, while others see long-term opportunities in Tesla's robotaxi ambitions and AI-driven projects.
Munger remained consistent in his skepticism of Tesla throughout his life. His stance wasn't necessarily about Tesla's technology—it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42976301/charlie-munger-said-his-family-only-owns-3-stocks-damn-right-theyre-rich-because-diversification-is-for-know-nothing-investors">about his investment philosophy</a>, which prioritized stable, disciplined companies over high-risk ventures led by larger-than-life personalities.
While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44266805/trump-turns-white-house-into-tesla-showroom-says-elon-musk-was-treated-very-unfairly-heres-the-car-he-picked-for-himself">Tesla's future</a> remains uncertain, Munger's perspective on Musk—a genius who overestimates himself—continues to be a defining lens through which many view the billionaire today.

Grimes Slams Elon Musk for Putting Their Children in Spotlight: 'I've Tried Begging Public And My Kids' Dad To Keep Them Offline'

U.S. forces, in collaboration with Iraqi intelligence and security services, successfully killed a high-profile leader of ISIS in a precision <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43424035/trump-unleashes-airstrikes-on-isis-in-somalia-we-will-find-you-and-we-will-kill-you" rel="noreferrer noopener">airstrike on Thursday in western Iraq.</a>
Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, known by his alias &#8220;Abu Khadijah,&#8221; was one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and globally, CNN <a target="_blank" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/14/middleeast/iraq-syria-isis-killed-intl-hnk/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
&#8220;Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed,&#8221; President Donald Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114164024901387974" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted </a>on his social media handle Truth Social. &#8220;He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters. His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!,&#8221; Trump adds.
As the &#8220;deputy caliph&#8221; of ISIS, he was a key figure in the organization, overseeing global operations, logistics, and financial matters, CNN adds.

The strike took place in Al Anbar province, where both Abu Khadijah and another ISIS operative were found dead at the scene, wearing unexploded suicide vests and carrying multiple weapons. U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, confirmed that Abu Khadijah&#8217;s identity was confirmed through DNA collected from a previous raid where he narrowly escaped capture.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani hailed the operation, calling it a significant blow to ISIS, which continues to operate in multiple regions despite losing control over large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria years ago.

The U.S. and Iraqi forces&#8217; joint effort marks a major victory in the fight against terrorism.
Despite a decline in ISIS territorial control, the group remains active and poses a continuing threat, as evidenced by a deadly attack in Moscow in March 2024.

Top ISIS Leader Killed In US-Iraqi Strike — 'Relentlessly Hunted Down by Our Intrepid Warfighters,' Says Trump

Recent moves by President Donald Trump have raised questions about the future stability of the U.S. economy and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43758634/mary-trump-warns-dni-gabbard-could-lead-to-catastrophic-outcome-a-known-russian-asset-defender-of-murderous-dictator-assad">programs</a>, and sparked new commentary from a familiar critic.
What Happened: These concerns were highlighted in an analysis by Mary Trump, the President&#8217;s niece and vocal critic.
In a Cubstack <a href="https://www.marytrump.org/p/watch-what-he-does">post</a>, Mary Trump scrutinized the President&#8217;s recent policy decisions. She expressed apprehension about the potential impacts on the U.S. economy and social security programs.
She drew attention to Trump&#8217;s recent interviews, where he defended his budget plan and dismissed concerns over potential economic slowdown. She criticized his lack of detailed plans and his dismissal of the potential impacts on social security, healthcare, and retirement savings.
She also noted that Trump&#8217;s policies, including his tariffs and trade disruptions, could lead to rising consumer prices and economic slowdown. 
She cited warnings from companies like&nbsp;Target Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>),&nbsp;Walmart Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), and&nbsp;Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) that they would&nbsp;pass these costs on to&nbsp;consumers.
Moreover, she highlighted the potential impacts of Trump&#8217;s policies on global alliances and U.S. credibility. She noted that&nbsp;China is positioning itself to&nbsp;replace the U.S. as a stable global leader in response to Trump&#8217;s tariffs and antagonism towards key economic partners.

&#8220;Even if you don&#8217;t care about helping other people, there is still a benefit to the United States in the form of soft power. If you help other countries, particularly developing nations, they become loyal to you. They become, by virtue of our aid, spokespeople for America. That is soft power. We don&#8217;t have that anymore. China is going after that as well. The Trump regime is weakening us on every single front,&#8221; she wrote in the post. 
Lastly, she criticized Trump&#8217;s decision to halt&nbsp;military aid to and intelligence&nbsp;sharing with Ukraine, which she argued has emboldened Russia and weakened Ukraine&#8217;s position on the battlefield.
Why It Matters: The concerns raised by Mary Trump echo the sentiments of many economic analysts and policy experts. The potential impacts of Trump&#8217;s policies on the U.S. economy, social security programs, and global alliances are significant.
Rising consumer prices could affect the purchasing power of American consumers, while disruptions in global alliances could impact U.S. standing in the global economy.
Furthermore, the halt in military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine could have far-reaching implications for global security. As such, these concerns warrant close attention and scrutiny.

Mary Trump Slams Uncle: 'The Trump Regime Is Weakening Us on Every Single Front'

President Donald Trump has filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting it to limit the authority of lower-court judges who issue nationwide <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44203241/powell-stresses-patience-as-fed-navigates-market-uncertainty-trade-turmoil" rel="noreferrer noopener">injunctions blocking federal policies.</a>
The appeal, centered on his controversial executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, seeks to curtail what the administration views as an overreach of district courts&#8217; powers, POLITICO <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/13/trump-supreme-court-nationwide-injunctions-00229431" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
According to the American Immigration Council, birthright citizenship is the principle that grants <a target="_blank" href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/topics/birthright-citizenship" rel="noreferrer noopener">automatic citizenship</a> to individuals upon birth, either through ancestry or place of birth.
In the U.S., it is based on &#8216;jus soli&#8216;, meaning citizenship is granted to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents&#8217; immigration status, with some exceptions. The U.S. also has &#8216;jus sanguinis&#8216;, granting citizenship to children born abroad to U.S. citizens. While birthright citizenship is common in the Americas, it is less prevalent in other parts of the world.

Trump&#8217;s acting solicitor general, Sarah Harris, argues that federal district judges should only issue injunctions within their own jurisdiction, not nationwide, contending that this would allow the Executive Branch to function properly without interference from multiple courts, POLITICO adds.
The appeal focuses on injunctions issued by judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington state, blocking Trump&#8217;s executive order that seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to undocumented immigrants.
Although Trump&#8217;s administration is not yet challenging the constitutionality of the order, it argues that nationwide injunctions are becoming a growing problem, citing 15 injunctions against Trump policies in February alone, the report reads.
Beyond the birthright citizenship case, the Trump administration&#8217;s filing also takes aim at state-led lawsuits, particularly those filed by Democratic attorneys general, which have challenged various federal policies.
The administration seeks to limit states&#8217; ability to bring such politically charged lawsuits.
The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision could have far-reaching implications, potentially reshaping the scope of judicial power and influencing future legal battles over federal policies.
