Stock market circuit breakers kick in on a 7 percent decline, halt for 15 minutes but we are past the time limit for day

Since February 2013, there have been market-wide circuit breakers that respond to single-day declines in the S&P 500 index. When the index falls by 7% below its previous close, it is considered a Level 1 decline. A Level 2 decline refers to a drop of 13%. Finally, a Level 3 decline refers to a drop of 20%.2 These levels have not changed as of March 2022.3

Level 1 or 2 circuit breakers halt trading on all exchanges for 15 minutes unless they are triggered at or after 3:25 PM (in which case trading is allowed to continue). Level 3 circuit breakers halt trading for the remainder of the trading day (from 9:30 a.m to 4:00 p.m.).41

When he decides to lift tarrifs. Or even says he's thinking of doing it. He can literally do this over and over again and make the market rise and fall like the tide.
