"If a stock-market swoon, or even a recession, does not frighten Trump, the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does. And so the gargantuan trade war is back off, for now," @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes:

What I fear is that Trump is planning to keep trying his tariffs, every 90 days or so, knowing that the market will react a little less each time. We're going to get used to the bad-tasting medicine.
If the purpose was to stop China filtering exports to the US via third party nations, then tarrifs on those nations were to soon anyway.
They were being penalised before any products reached them.
I love how smoothly conservatives shifted from "tariffs will bring manufacturing back to the US" to we need to focus on forcing China to negotiate". Almost like the plan is "whatever nonsense Trump comes up with today" is the for sure, absolutely certain truth... and this time we mean it. 🤞
It wasn’t about the recession, it’s market manipulation. Him and people close to him just made a ridiculous amount of money the last 3 months while the rest of us watch our 401k, and relationships with our closest trade allies deteriorate and be unstable. He’s a traitor and not working for us
This was the biggest out in the open, in your face, market manipulation scam in American history. Everyone of these filthy criminals need to be locked up.
Biggest single market manipulation of all time?
Dump posted "great time to buy", 2 hours before his post lifting most tariffs. Any one else would be straight to jail.
Trump's a liar and a crook. Everyone in his administration are as well. How many of them sold stock right before he announced the tariffs and bought them back after?
I just wonder how many stocks/shares/bonds he and his cronies bought low this week , and are now selling high , he knew exactly what he was doing . He is a grifter using his presidency to line his own pockets
I think he was more worried about his approval tanking, all he gives a fuk about. When seniors of all stripes say fuck you, you know your screwed come midterms!
We are sick to death of this shit. We need to get RID of him and his entire cabinet, and we need to scare the living hell out of EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in congress. Not in 2026, not in 6 months. Right now.
I'm not in the US so no idea how it works but shocked at how Rep Sens are getting away with cowardice. Surely the Dems can bring a bill or vote and make every single Senator individually show their colours. They have to own their calamity in their own states.
Did he back off of China?
Because if he didn't back off of China "the gargantuan trade war" is still absolutely on and these optimistic stock traders are in for another shock.
His lackeys are already making excuses as to why they are going to lose in 2026. He pumped the brakes because his billionaire buddies have made even more money and some MAGA are starting to get restless - apparently a few are buying the "what's wrong with losing money?" crap.
He didn’t pause them. He tweeted about pausing them and kept the 10% baseline in place. Media need to do a better job explaining this point. Market clearly thinks he’s willing to cave if the losses pile up.
Dear US citizens!You are allowed to start petitions and to contact your politicians,e.g. via phone and mail.With enough power you can bring up new elections, legal and without violence.Your voice is stronger than you think. Build groups, be united! You are stronger! https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
Not directly, but you can push for recalls and exchange his players one by one. And then, with enough protest, you can push your politicians for a restart.
Yes you protest, keep it up, it works. This can destroy the regime, it worked in East Europe

Trump has destroyed our position of leadership.
And these tariffs are much higher than what was expected by "experts" on the economy. Not so much experts on Donald's psychology.
Don't get Stockholm Syndrome and pretend Trump did a good job.

Y’all don’t get to make fun of France anymore.

Yeah, we know. That's what this was all about.
Until he's stripped of the power to tariff everything and everyone, no one should do business with America.
Resignation list

I'd call it a stage(d) dive.
Many of us are already contacting our elected representatives VERY frequently. And you’re probably aware that 5.2 million protested last weekend.
But none of that can yield new elections sooner than the normal schedule.
Oh. # DailyFreedomScripts
