Yep, and the entire population of both Canada and Mexico knew it. My husband’s cousin predicted this exact scenario, with details, on Jan 20. People think he’s clairvoyant, when he’s actually just very smart.
Trump is trapped in endless cycles in which he acts out simulations of strength to elicit liberal tears he finds emotionally satisfying to distract the country and himself from his own incompetence that leads him to lose control of fights he started, before inevitably capitulating.
It’s all smoke, he’s a performance artist and a poor one at that. Both Mexico & Canada are laughing as the stock market tanked, they knew he had a 7-2 unsuited.
Yep, it's blatantly obvious what they're doing. He did this in his first term. Tweet something outrageous, causing a dip, back track causing a rebound.
entirely likely, though probably hard to prove. Still less damaging than him going ahead with the tariffs. You just have to wonder at what point will enough of the people who voted for him wise up to it?
People who voted for trump because they think he’s a great businessman are bonkers. Do your homework. He’s a horrible businessman. His record speaks for itself. The bankruptcies, the failed businesses, the treatment and exploitation of employees, the trump crime syndicate. It goes on and on.
Looks like the tariffs-on, tariffs-off play by Trump was a grift for his donors to make a killing in the market shorting stocks between the announcements.
I stopped my 401k. It's already dropped so much & then my rollover IRA has lost lots. If I wasn't charged fee to w/d I'd remove it all. I wasn't letting them get more out of my checks
Actually, I think the market reaction spooked him. His bluff was called and he folded. Going forward, this kills his negotiating because they know he can’t back things up. Trump is market driven and if he tanks the market he’s screwed. Trust me, he got serious and threatening calls from CEOs.
Oh, I don't doubt it. But I also don't doubt that he got some calls from some very happy hedge fund managers too.
If he tanks the market, the US is screwed, not Trump. Our politicians screwed the UK economy with Brexit: not only did they get away with it, they got richly rewarded by their backers.
Mark my words: he'll find various ways to dick about with the markets over the next four years. And between the bluster and the back down, billions of dollars will be made by the most undeserving of people.
They don't care about America. They only care about making money.

Trump's threats made the markets plunge. Rowing back on the threats made the markets recover.
Trump and his pals have just made a fortune by exploiting this. It's epic insider trading.
And the world just laughs and sends Canada / Mexico memes. 🤦
Rinse repeat, and make billions.
(For the record I only send these if I get a full gut wobble and my cat gets a fright!)
