It is March and the lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "trap".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump (egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk) said he was doing his part to help the economy by imposing tarriffs, but in fact fell into a trap. Now investors have figured out that the economy is trashed and they're selling off stock in American companies. Kind of interesting how trap and part are spelled backwards-ly.
Anyhow, solve this puzzle and the circled letters will tell you a word for someone who does things backwards-ly from what he said.
