Nobody knows. He's playing chicken shit bingo. Strutting around like a brainless rooster while billions of people try to figure out where he's gonna crap next.
That hardly matters. Markets and the world react to the media and Trump plays the media and hence the world like a fiddle. Why doesn't everyone just let Trump do whatever, stick together and find other trading partners? That would minimize the negative impact of Trump's tariffs for everyone.
Pretty much what is happening. The rest of the world is getting together. Japan and Canada chatting. China overtures to Australia. EU stronger than ever. Trumps voice is louder, that's all, and US media not covering world view.
Exactly. Have to look to news from other countries, or NPR, to find out what's really going on. Mainstream media is largely compromised. The world has already moved on. The US has inertia on its side for now, but the ball has been pushed, and it's going to be hard to stop it now.
I agree with what they said on The Bulwark. The problem the world has with the US isn't Trump. Trump is temporary. It's that 77m Americans voted him in, knowing everything we know. They simply can't trust a sizable minority of our country now, Trump or no Trump.
There are no laws in America for the rich and famous, and their are no limits to what in the name of 'justice' they can do to you. Equal justice for all, depending upon your class / status.
It will change it a week’s time. Ok, it’s written down today. How does that help the wheat farmer who planning on selling his goods in 3 weeks from now?
I'm not sure you understand the original post. And yet somehow answered how and why someone would care? But in a way where you think they wouldn't care.
The volatility of what comes next whether it's tomorrow, or 3 weeks, or simply that what you were told wasn't true, is very much a reason to care
My wife works for a company that deals in international logistics, and told me there has been no official communication from any govt agency to the company she works for that the tariffs are actually paused.
I have at least 3 family members that won't be able to afford any longer their life-saving medicines once Trump starts putting tariffs on medicines in a few days.
This tariff situation is eugenics on a massive scale.
Do I really want to know all the details?
And if manipulating the financial markets is proven, is anyone going to be arrested, let alone convicted?
The rapist has immunity.
It seems like legal has flown out the window. It’s just a free for all, but only for Trump and his cronies. Anyone else will be held to the letter of the law. The new MAGA World 😵💫
Watched your show with Alex on the farmers and just like every morning on cspan call in,
People think tRump is doing a great job and are sticking by him and Biden for some reason was not running our country and was driving it in the ground, I don’t get it? We had a solid economy
I would recommend that MSNBC do a recap of all of he Biden accomplishments, I think Right wing media is trying to get people to forget how good we really had it
Trump’s chance to get back at his enemies most heavily invested in stock markets Trump himself is guilty of insider trading as is MTG reportedly bought treasury stocks both actions prior to the Tariff announcement
Or did anyone in charge of the practical enforcement of these vanishing tariffs ever actually do anything?
Trump said we have hundreds of millions a month pouring in to the country right now "because I did the tariffs" but is there any proof even one cent was actually collected?
And his 90 day pause was just a post on TrothTruth Senshal, so for all we know He might not have done anything to the tariffs. A social media post doesn’t cancel an executive order.
yesterdays was ' no other president would have done this ' - first true thing I have heard him say in days and he keeps repeating it like he thinks its a ' good thing ' 2/2
been watching his ' cabinet meeting ' - really just a bunch of people making up weird lies he wants to hear to tell him e.g. ' we found payments being made to people who wont born until 126 years from now ' and havnt spotted the truth getting slipped in yet.
Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on.
C’mon people, let’s be Real!
The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
Hence they didn’t tell the trade representative who was testifying in Congress today. He might have spilled the beans. Or, have been asked about it under oath and then what?
Surprise!Surprise!Surprise!
Plus, this is all smoke and mirrors to hide the real scary shit that’s going on in the shadows. Gabbard hiring an EX green beret white supremacist to head counter terrorism.
My question is, was this stock market rout a planned event? It seems like an awful lot of Trump cronies sold stock just before the market tanked. Then they could scoop it back up at fire sale prices. Is anyone looking at this?
Whoever is doing the legal paperwork they must be flat out on 24 hour shifts with the amount of rewrites. Maybe the only government department which is hiring under this administration.
It is , best tool for manipulating stock prices , insider tradin , put a dog lease on Elon Musk and the poor farmers , i was too naive to view tarriffs is only consumption tax , it is whole lot more ...darn i am just too simple minded lol
Dawg…they’ve turned the economy into a crypto bro pump n dump. Motherfuckers out there using chatgpt to tax the penguins man. It’s really high time I go live with those well dressed, waddling, smooth downy bastards. It’s a flightless birds life for me. Society can suck it.
They're calling their stock people and making changes. While they wait to say then they'll switch back again and continue the stock insider trading while our military does nothing. Aren't they suppose to be protecting us. Everyone down to Mike "Fuckboy" Johnson has broke the law and should be jailed
We are seeing the greatest heist in History, and it requires a full investigation.
Someone is making money, lots of money and it’s not you. More than anything, the Trump administration has traded away trust in America
NGL, I will be genuinely impressed if they managed to do the same scam twice in a matter of days. Threaten tariffs and crash the market, buy on the dip, say they're going to back away so market recovers, sell at the peak, actually implement the tariffs and short the market, buy on the dip,....
I heard from FOX "News" that VoldeTrump was ordering all the White House Presidential toilets & to be solid 90% gold with Trump's profile face engraved on the lid. Of course, all the Presidential showers and basins are to be solid gold too with Trump's face engraved on them.
Tariffs are usually enacted carefully and methodically to minimize impact to the economy. This is market sanguinization to force us into a trade deal with the Russian Federation as our only trading partner because who else?
Who knows? I'm still flabbergasted that a sitting President is actively & publicly leading insider trading... I'm not shocked, I'm in awe at the audacity. Now, I believe he believes he is going to shoot someone on 5th Ave one day & just go home...
Chris, as you know the Tariffs left in place are still THE WORST CASE SCENARIO that analysts had analyze just a month ago. And that analysis show a 60% chance of RECESSION !!
More so, the custom house brokers who file entries for importers. I was an entry writer & international freight forwarder for 40 years. Being aged out has been a blessing in disguise but ironically in my face everyday now.🙄
Yesterday some were cheering the 3% partial snapback on the stock market. I thought that was premature. My suspicion was correct. The DOW is tanking again today.
Why are we not showing that the markets are acting and reacting to Trump's statements in a fashion that show the real possibility of insider trading and market manipulation. Honestly, the instant reaction in both directions are suggestive that this is the only possible reason.
All I know is that I’m so very tired of all of this. I just want to go back to the normalcy of days when I woke up and didn’t have to worry about all the cruel, incoherent things he is up to.
Congress needs to take the emergency powers that allows Trump to impose these tariffs before he does it again in July. And if not, Democrats needs to bludgeon Republicans over it.
The exact wording on "No has ever caved under pressure on a major policy announcement days later as hugely as President Trump caved, like you wouldn't believe" is turning out to be trickier than they thought.

Are official WH communications from govt agencies now only using tweets via X or Truth Social platforms to publicly announce their plans?
-Too busy counting their insider trade gains.
This tariff situation is eugenics on a massive scale.

With this SCOTUS, who knows.
I’m shocked. 😳
Who would have thought.

So far they’ve pretty obviously been manipulating the markets.
At least I think so.
Why not yet more?
We thought things existed - but they only exist if we acknowledge their authority.

to Magic 8 Ball again.
This is so humiliating.
Magic 8 Ball will the tariffs
go away tomorrow?
If his lips are moving, he's lying.
His enablers say "2 things can be true"
Except that's another lie when the 2 things are in exact contradiction of each other.
Someone is making money, lots of money and it’s not you. More than anything, the Trump administration has traded away trust in America
Putin's arse still needs wiping with something besides its nose
He's a TRAITOR! We should know this!
Does it really matter?
I mean, he may change his mind tomorrow! He may change his mind several times tomorrow!
🤷
So a ship comes in this morning and pays the huge tariffs, then another comes in the afternoon and doesn't? Are systems updated that quickly?
No
Yes
No
Yes
No
No
No
Yes
Yes
No
So there was no paperwork to begin with. Just the posters he held up.
