The world is currently laughing at the orange felon for caving in on his own trade war without getting one single thing in return from any country. Embarrassing scumbag.

I wish it were that, but he got exactly what he wanted, billions from the stock market manipulation. He doesn’t give a sh*t about tariffs. They are a means to an end.
Many trump voters don’t have money for the stock market. They were living vicariously through his wealthy lifestyle and he acted like he had their back. He doesn’t care anymore though. Their lives will be a struggle like before but now no food stamps, Medicare, Social Security, FEMA disaster relief.
It was stock manipulation nothing more he’ll do it again. This is a coup. Everybody’s worried about the stock market and nothing else when his ice agents are ripping people off the streets as we speak, but that’s OK. They’re just immigrants you say, wait till they come after you and your children
And the smart ones recognize that he ran a con on the stock market to enrich himself and his cronies, damaging and breaking thousands of small investors who had their retirement savings in the market.
He didn't blink. He only put them on hold - and while many celebrate this as a victory it's really not. Baseline 10% tariffs are still in place and there has been no rescinding of the upcoming tariffs on pharmaceutials.
Mark my words - more tariffs are likely to come, just more targetted.
It was never about concessions. It was about market manipulation and getting rich from insider trading. The world is laughing at how blind and gullible Americans are if they don't see it.
It's insider trading. Trump and his buddies pulled their money out of stocks just before he did the tariffs thing, then bought stocks low after the crash. Now the numbers are back up ready for them to sell again just before the 'pause' in 90 days. Lather rinse repeat. Trump got what he wanted.
Justice IS supposed to be fair, but when comparing Stewart to Trump? Clearly that is SO not the case. She got much more punishment for far less of a transgression. Although to be fair? If I were drafted into the role of POTUS against my will? Prison would be a blessing in comparison. To me anyway.
She was the token criminal that they used to shut everyone up so they could say they did something. Same with Madoff, he only went to jail because he stole from rich people.
I'm retired, so I'm going to watch the news and market like a hawk and play the same game. We ALL can. Buy a few Nvidia shares when he tanks the market with his bullshit, wait for the news that they made a deal, then sell it when it goes up. Rinse and repeat. You know he's going to do this again.
Maybe it's me, but I feel like "75 countries called us to kiss our ass, but we won't tell you which ones because we are obviously lying" is a fairly weak line of defense.
This is a regime, not a government. What happens to the public is secondary to Trump's personal finances. Those who bow down to Trump's personal vendettas and money-making schemes will eventually find out that the joke is on them. Eventually.
The country didn't get one thing out of it, except getting fucked with. Trump? He got windfall profits via market manipulation. Embarrassing, CRIMINAL, scumbag.
Convicted criminal, Donald Trump is a narcissistic megalomaniac with fantasies of world domination. He has destroyed our relationship with allies and empowered our foreign and domestic enemies—including Republican Fascists. His market-manipulation is criminal. He must be impeached, and imprisoned.
The only tariffs removed were ones based on that embarrassingly stupid formula. The announcement was made to jizz the market for a few inside traders and curb the Treasuries sell-off.
Oh he got something, he and his billionaire buddies bought all those stocks that fell for cheap and made billions when he announced the pause that made the market rebound.
I think the entire world sees through the very transparent veil that this was never a tariff war but a dump & pump so he and his faithfuls could buy the dip and profit off our losses.
He personally made millions out of insider trading with his billionaire friends. The tariff thing was a bluff, and the world fell for it. They really sucker punched us
He honestly does not know what he is doing. I asked him the other day on the phone and he just screamed at me "OF COURSE I DON'T!! I AM JUST A PUPPET!!!
But he and his friends got plenty by manipulating the stock market this morning.
With these people, it is _always_ and _only_ about how much they enrich *themselves*, the optics and ramifications of international relations be damned.
He will do this over and over again. He's now targeting pharma. Stiff them with heavy tariffs. Bring the stocks way down, tell his rich friends to buy, and then lift the tariff and sky rocket the stocks.
He got what he needs more than anything: attention
This cycle will never stop, he does shit, gets attention, his bad behavior gets rewarded, and so he will repeat it like a trained animal.
He will go for an invasion at some point just for this - unlimited attention
He did get something. He was able to give all his billionaire cronies a payday as they scooped up stocks at a low price and then launched into the no tariff zone where they increased in value.. He paid debts.
His billionaire buddies made billions, he got exactly what he wanted. WH won’t release list of 75 countries that supposedly wanted a tariff deal. Bc there weren’t any.
Poor Caroline Leavitt must be so dizzy with all the spinning and that gombeen (lrish for fool) Bessent smiling like Jack Nicholas in one flew over the cuckoo's nest beside her Good Jesus will someone save America from these degenerates
We're not laughing. US has become a tragic shadow of itself, and there's a madman holding the nuclear suitcase. We're waiting for him to decide he needs a new game with which to amuse himself.
I thought his phone was buzzing with calls from groveling leaders kissing his ass...lets hear the names of these beaten down terrified leaders
"Sir, sir..."
They can laugh but HE and his friends are laughing all the way to the bank. Someone is making money off this volatility. Amazing how it always “leaks” that he’s going to pull back, they officially deny it, and then he does. The people in on it are too stupid to keep their mouths shut OR they’re
Through market manipulation he and his goons made billions. He pulled the same💩 the first time. He finds every way possible to manipulate the system for his gain. The level of corruption is insane. I don’t know how we will get through 4 or more years of this regime. Please, cholesterol, saves us.☠️
It’s hard to imagine the extent of the damage to our country by this administration . We are at the beginning and the list is almost too long to recall. The 45th is an angel in comparison
Trump is getting nothing positive done in the US. But totally destroying what America was built on. Total embarrassment, there is no integrity. It's all about money while screwing over the middle class. And all ya maga supporters got what YOU voted for.
But we still have 10% tariffs which is still high. And China is at 125%. Walmart imports at least 60% of its product from China. Walmart prices will double nearly over night.
Laugh it up, but we're still in trouble.

Grifter the world knows not half of America
Mark my words - more tariffs are likely to come, just more targetted.

Abracadabra, you’re still broke, markets are down and 401ks are still being eviscerated.

$304 Billion. That’s what he got.
He succeeded.
With these people, it is _always_ and _only_ about how much they enrich *themselves*, the optics and ramifications of international relations be damned.
But next time any broker worth their fee will recognize what's happening and get in on it - and the returns won't be nearly as big for The Players.
This cycle will never stop, he does shit, gets attention, his bad behavior gets rewarded, and so he will repeat it like a trained animal.

"Sir, sir..."
They got what they wanted.
This is a world class grifter doing what a grifter does. Period.
He got to enrich himself, his cronies and his daddy in Russia.
He's a bully, who has been proved a coward ...
... but, mostly ... he's just a c*nt.
It was purely stock market manipulation.
Trump & Co. will have made a fortune out of it.
Of course, they've done it at the expense of regular investors, normal Americans. And they've trashed the US reputation as a reliable trading partner.
Laugh it up, but we're still in trouble.
