Trump said he decided to pause tariffs because people "were getting yippy" and "a little bit afraid" amid days of market turmoil.

    Real reason: His “advisers” cashed out from shorting the stock market and bought stocks back.

      Biggest stock surge since October 2008 too, reeks of market shorting. Wish I was rich and morally bankrupt enough to profit off this.

        Blatant market manipulation committed in broad daylight by the leader of the free world who is a corrupt Russian asset.

    Hahaha “yippy”. What a tool.

    So what, is he just going to keep declaring tariffs then pausing them every 90 days? Ridiculous.

      He’s not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It’ll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don’t even give it a week.

        They’ll be changed again tomorrow.

        The crazy isn’t going to stop.

        I would prefer that they hurry up with it. With the unbelievably short attention span and memory of his voterbase, 90 days is about 87 too late for them to be able to correlate their support of him with any financial consequences that personally affect them.

    So he blames us for his plan not working (or worked as intended…)?

      Because clearly the only problem with Trump’s master plan is that the people aren’t pulling their weight. If they would only listen then things would work out. /S

    That’s not the reason. People being yippy never stopped him before.
