Six noteworthy Hivemind trends from the past week:

1. Tariffs. The most discussed topic was tariffs, particularly Trump’s global tariff policy and his announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs.

2. Hamas, Israel, Gaza, and Palestine. The Israel-Gaza war remained a key topic this week, with conversations centering on Israel’s military expansion in Gaza, and on-going protests.

3. Trump. Mentions of Donald Trump focused on the impact of his policies, (specifically tariffs) on the U.S. economy, along with differing opinions about him.

4. Stock market. The stock market’s volatility in response to Trump’s tariffs was a major talking point, with commentators expressing concern over ongoing uncertainty and fears of long-term economic instability.

5. Panama Canal. Discussions about the Panama Canal’s importance to U.S. global policy and security have intensified this week as tensions rise due to China’s increasing interest in the region.

6. Nintendo. U.S. preorders for Nintendo’s newly announced Switch 2 were delayed due to Trump’s global tariffs, sparking increased conversations about Nintendo itself, the console’s availability, and potential price increases.
