And yet at the end of this clip they are all singing Trump's praises that he "took the win." What did he win?

if you don't say "brilliant idea boss" he'll get mad and knock down all the blocks

He won nothing (other than the market manipulation and inside trading that surely was going on to profit Trump). The Dow is still down 2500 points from just before he announced the tariffs a week ago.

I don't think the petulant child upping the tariffs on China will help that bond market.

crunk1977.bsky.social•25 days ago

There was a big bond auction I believe shortly after his post about pausing tariffs. At least for that auction it boosted confidence, we'll see if it's sustainable.

Probably a bunch of worried Americans who cashed out. 🤣🤣🤣

I actually love that the Japanese were dumping their bonds because they don’t consider the US an honorable trading partner anymore. So while Trump was bragging about their delegation coming to meet with him and kiss his ass, his own words, they were selling bonds. ha ha

Right?! This was really surprising

I think Donald is manipulating the markets. He's letting a handful of people know his moves ahead of time. They are using this information to profit "bigly" off the volatility.

Same Trump
Pump & Dump Insider Trading Scam!! 🐍☠️💩

Shameless liars. I miss the days when Americans prided themselves on not being duped.

Typical Republican shit, create a problem and then celebrate a solution

Bessent looks like a guy who’s afraid of his own shadow. I doubt he wants to have to listen to the orange idiot if he was to speak the truth.

lizamazel.bsky.social•25 days ago

um, so, about the bonds. Doesn't China hold a lot of our debt? Does that not have implications for bond value if they decide to do something about it?

Someone at Fox tried to be honest for about half a second there..⏱️

mikefrburkecville.bsky.social•25 days ago

I would never assume that Scott Bessent knows ANYTHING.

It’s April, fools.

No shit???

Thank goodness charlie was telling that other guy stop your fucking ass kissing because we know Trump had no options. Now I need to book a trip to Japan!
