the american people gained financial turmoil and aggravation
meanwhile trump telegraphed the policy on social media before he reported the change, and likely told others in private because committing market manipulation in a desperate grab for others' love is his second-favorite hobby behind golf
He and his family made billions selling stocks they had stake in right before he announced and implemented the tariffs. Seemingly like they had insider knowledge on the tariffs being planned and enacted 🤔
I am asking the same question on here, waiting for someone to explain the part about him deciding after that huge Liberation Day display he concocted in the Rose Garden, invited all those guest and then, petered out in less than a WEEK? What is their spin on why? What?
- decisions are made based on info from the last 5 minutes
- decisions are rolled out in 5 minutes' time
- decisions will be revised 5 minutes from now
- repeat every 15 minutes
they call it leadership, the rest of us call it head-spinning chaos
Negotiations aren’t going to well for Trump and he really didn’t think this all the way through. He is unable to think that deep. So, we will just need to let this nitwit continue to throw darts at the board and see what sticks. In the meantime, start saving your money.
Well, most of his "people," as in Maga, don't have money in the stock market. And his rich cronies bought a whole bunch of stuff when it was tanked and are now going to make a killing when all of it goes back up. So nothing. He gained nothing!
if his rich friends bought low, got insider info, and gained when the dow rose, i am certain he did too
he never provided his tax forms, never completely stepped away from his company, and promotes his own businesses in what have become near-daily violations of the hatch act
Cart is getting ahead of the horse here. The markets are still reeling. As much as his cronies like to believe, he can’t wave a magic wand to rejuvenate the market. The temp tariff pauses only *slowed* the massive slide. It’s still declining. Ex: my holdings (index ) are down 12k year to date.
how about we don't send the global economy spinning into the shitter, and if we want to talk to a country about trade imbalance, let's call them and set a meeting to discuss it
Trauma. Extreme fear and anxiety. Ultimately all it will do is further drive down consumer confidence because we are being held hostage by a madman who has proven he can ruin us on a whim any time he wants. The foundation of the real economy is consumer spending. Stupid stupid stupid stupid
Ackman & his ilk gained, we lost!
They were blowing up Bessent’s phone all weekend asking him to get Trump to reverse tariffs, & he did.
Then, 4 hours BEFORE Trump tweeted about pausing tariffs, he tweeted “IT’S A GREAT TIME TO BUY. DJT” All the insiders (pun intended) knew to started trading. 💰🦹♂️
See, if YOU had just followed the President slavishly on his own Truth Social then YOU TOO would have had a HEAD START on when to buy and sell your stocks. But those who will NOT join his fan club will MISS OUT!
It’s official folks—Bill might be the most shameless, least self-aware hedge fund manager on Wall Street. Do you know how shameless and lacking in self-awareness you have to be to take that top prize away from the other hedge fund managers? Like—he’s the freaking GOAT
It is stupid and why liberals need to focus on their narratives when it comes to the market. DJT stock price is down 77% but somehow he can execute a brilliant strategy in the global markets and not his company? Please.
What about the poor souls that sold on the way down? Im talking about the retired person who painfully had to liquidate because they don’t have a job and could not risk anymore…only to see rich people out there looking for deals who waited for the cave. Some real people have just been hurt badly.
Calling my Reps every single fucking day 2 SNATCH BACK TARIFF AUTHORITY & everyone w/in earshot needs to do same. @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @repraulruizmd.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & DNC needs to put out campaign on it. @kenmartin.bsky.social
Trump is the abusive spouse/partner. He beats his girlfriend and then he brings her flowers and tells her he’ll never do it again. Rinse and repeat. Unfortunately, America is now his girlfriend.
Not my thank you and not my President. If he wants to do something good for the country then jump off the Empire State Building. Or choke on a Big Mac, whatever.
I think I'm finally finding a way of dealing with the insanity.
Think of Trump's brain as a hammer. Don't give him credit for being any smarter than one either. If something catches his attention that he considers a nail he is going to beat on that damn thing until he is stopped, or it dies.
The one thing billionaires are successful at is convincing others that only they possess extraordinary intellect when in reality their advisors, preferential systems and dumb luck play a big part in the wealth.
Most use their parents money (inheritance) to throw boatloads of cash into the market. Anyone who does this will gain over time because, over all, the market grows over time. Random buying by novices has been shown to do no worse than targeted investor day trading.
The broligarchs are so self-unaware of the damage all this chaos causes to normal people, investors, small business owners, retirees. We can never again give them the keys to democratic government. And we need a Supreme Court that will not enable them with nonsense about money equating to speech.
Particularly since supply chains can't be changed in 90 days, either...and a lot of the tariffs still remain in place, so the inflationary pressure is real and present.
so. do we all take a vote on who's the number one orange turd asskisser ? AND Bill, that is NOT chocolate under your fingernails or on the tip of your dick
So, now the lunatic knows that he can make the stock market go up or down on a whim, just by a tweet or a "truth." Maybe folks will get wise to him sooner or later. I think this had a lot to do with his "big, beautiful bill" being in trouble. Tariffs back on as soon as it passes.
This is so sad to have to write it on X, are we supposed to think this is the official United States government channel? Just sounds like somebody's going to jail over security and exchange violations...
Witnessing grown men grovel over Trump when he does serious stupid shit like it’s a genius move is definitely next level embarrassing and their man card should be revoked. Fucking pussy.
This is as embarrassing as listening to Neil DeGrasse Tyson, along with most every celebrity, politician and journalist, prostrate themselves before the statue of Elon Musk from 2013 to 2018.
Trump got off on causing pain and chaos and is now getting off on all the fawning and praise. Idiots like this are rewarding him for his terrible behavior and increasing the chances of him doing it again.

4 hrs BEFORE Trump tweeted about pausing tariffs, he tweeted “IT’S A GREAT TIME TO BUY. DJT” All the insiders (pun intended) knew to start trading💰💰. Hence the reward. 🦹♂️
Only we lost.
There were lots of rumors that the tariffs would be short lived. I k ew it and nobody calls me. I didn’t buy (even though I guessed this) because I expect more shitification with tariffs will cause long term declines. FYI, markets are still way down since Jan.
The amount of weak ass men who have allowed Trump to strip them of all dignity and self-respect never cease to astound me. Even after they lose so much (and in some cases everything) they continue to humiliate themselves for a man who takes great pleasure in their humiliation
In Biden's first year as POTUS The American rescue plan was passed. People got relief and Americans were getting out of chaos but now in 2025, they're rolling that shit back this sucks.
This turd has no spine. Art of the Deal...simply revoking or pausing your terrible policy decision with no changes made. God, this guy needs a tag to the balls
It is A LOT embarrassing. Bill Ackman and all billionaires who likely just profited off Trumps market manipulation are NOT brilliant- they are greedy as fuck and their opinions reflect that. Craven horse shit- when we reform this country- we need to put wealth hoarders at the bottom of the chain.

Having world leaders call him is not a benefit (they now actually think he’s crazy).
So WHAT did the American people gain with this exercise?

why would he stop now

🤯 i know, right?
businesses can't perform sound long-term strategic planning around a president whose economic policy changes by the minute
more hiring freezes and less investment in growth and development = fewer americans working = more holes in the boat

DOES HE HAZ YOUR FULL ATTENTION NOW???!!!!!?
(Oh well, at least Elon missed out!)
All trump does is sow chaos.
I'm sure he and his buddies bought into the down market, and are making some good money today.
Oh, they're all so stupid.
give it a week
He’s insane!

This is what running the US economy like a failed casino looks like
It’s not just a little embarrassing it is head shaking sad that a lrg group of ppl are this gullible and stupid.
Phuck you on behalf of a majority of amerikans
Ackerman did, and is sucking Trump’s balloon knot.
🍊💩🤡🤢🤮
Extremely
Said he need Ackman to post this bullshit. Textbook Trump
Kissing The Ring of The dictator?

He’s got some orange crap on his nose.
(Apologies for the vulgarity today I’m really pissed off with these submissive weak white billionaires)….
A tiny number of them can't really be changed at all tbh.
These pronouncements
are flat out fictional.
In fact, more to the point, a pack of lies by a jackass.
Market manipulation.
There was NO deal!! None. NO trade deals were done.
Bill Ackman is a groveler.
The FTC Chair stepped down in January and the Dem commissioners fired recently. How convenient for Insider Trading.
Jr. got the message. Do you think Eric did? lol
