Trump’s announcement that he will pause his tariffs for 90 days is about as confidence-building as a notorious cheater announcing that he will pause his sex affairs for 90 days.

He paused it bc no countries are calling to negotiate and I bet the CEO’s are eating him alive- or he decided to drop prices low so they all could become insider traders - either option stinks
Pausing tariffs for 90 days is like the Dread Pirate Roberts telling Westley that instead of probably killing him in the morning, he’ll wait a few days.

There is no way he's going to honor a 90 day pause. He can't feel all powerful and shit if he lets things settle down. He will have to step in and do something to get the headlines.
90 days for the billionaires/millionaires to buy up the cheap stuff now....money just flowing through the atmosphere from one felonious con man thief to all his sycophants....and falling out of Main St 401'ks, pension funds, small businesses....
Other than your pocket, nothing is safe. What happens when he starts fooling around with the FDIC. Your personal savings will be hit when you are trying to recover your losses from your 401k being hit…
The bigger question is who benefits from the chaos >
back & forth — markets tanking at the threat/announcement of tariffs/roaring back when paused/removed?
The whiplash effect is as bad as the policy. No one can trust anything the government says or does, because any announcement could be reversed the next week.

But one thing that is rock-solid guaranteed is that this pause will *NOT* last 90 days.
Not even close.
Like “I’ll quit drinking if confirmed”
Is there anyone watching for huge stock transactions just before these events?
