Perhaps the stocks were massively overvalued and any negative news was going to start this sell off regardless of its actual impact?
That is my theory anyway.
It is also because the USA is the reserve currency of the world with open capital markets.
Savers of the world (including countries like Germany and China who have excess savings due to constrained consumer demand) dump their savings into US assets such as stocks.
This leads to asset bubbles and an uncompetitively high US dollar.

Only a universally applied tariff would work in theory but would require other countries not to retaliate (there will 100% be retaliation).
It doesn't really solve the root cause, capital inflows into the USA rather than purchasing US goods and services.
Trump wants to maintain being the reserve currency which is a big part of the problem (the strength of currency may not align with domestic conditions, i.e. high when it needs to be low).
