As I understand it he paused the tariffs because the bond market was crashing. But he didn't pause them for China, which is the largest bond holder and I also understand that they're selling 🤔
Yeah, but that's not what happened here. I think this pause was in the plan the whole time as a market manipulation. The net effect will be that a lot of people's retirement funds are destroyed, and now we'll have even more people with no choice but to work in the onshored sweat shops he wants.
Oh he of little kool-aid, Biff didn't back down, Biff meant to crash the markets.
So he could get the Penguins to the table!
This regime isn't joking around.
It is the joke.
🚬😎
This is bull shit. He always intended to do this and everyone is just being suckered in!
Trump is a criminal who uses everyone around him to do his dirty work. Don’t be fooled!
He has a plan B,C,D,and E - probably to K (eh, Elon?) for everything that he is doing.
They've had 4 years not counting his 45 term...
He's not making mistakes he's jumping jack flash with a motherfucker of a plan.....
He's been playing this game for 2 months.Impose tarriffs, stock tanks, buy stock, tap brakes, markets go up, millionaires make $. Did it with Canada & Mexico. I hope China nails him to the wall at this point. Note to China: Don't send one more GD chip unless we impeach his ass.
Billionaires just had the biggest payday ever. Who was in the know that Felon47 was backing off tariffs? This didn’t just pop into his addled brain. It was planned and prepared for.
And, of course, he'll take full credit for the rebound. But, it only rebounded because he tanked it in the first place. Until the next time, which, fuck, could be tomorrow, for all anyone knows!
He's a bully! You have to punch him back. Unfortunately, the only thing that punched back this time was the stock market. Real people need to figuratively, if not literally, punch him in the face!
But, he manipulated the market...the tariff crisis was all about THAT--making billions off us, his toys, and about control...having everyone reacting to his madness, about bullying, and putting us in danger, isolating us. All moves of an abuser.
Unless he achieved the intended goal and used the supposed 47 countries calling to negotiate as plausible deniability.
Threat of tariff has produced dramatic market response each time it has been used, which allows well-positioned investors to profit at the expense of everyone else.
Too bad he’s not a big enough man to admit it. The litany of people to blame: Joe, Hillary, BO, Hunter Biden, Kamala, Democrats, and on and on and on! I might even be on the list! Adults take responsibility. You know it will NEVER, EVER happen.
There’s a bill in congress that would give him the out if that’s what he’s looking for… it would give congress the power to lapse the tariffs within 60 days if they don’t approve.
I think we need to not mock the step back. Like a dog, make making the right choice rewarding
But NOT for Americans - he was being told by many people what a mistake he was making, his phone was NOT ringing by ALL those countries,which is why the White House won't release the 'made up' list of Countries who called to kiss his ass.
This man couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it!
NEW BLOG: The Art of Capitulation
Don't buy the spin that Trump's spectacular U-turn on tariffs was part of a plan. It was pure surrender, inflicted by China. Nothing will be the same from here on, because now we know Trump wilts when the heat is turned up. https://www.jandehn.com/post/the-art-of-capitulation
Ha
He is in a dark complex world of being a contrarian
He has double downed so many times he has residual double down capability
So he’s on a fume gate able to pretend to relinquish a double down to add more money in his pockets &more into contributing pals once again
We did great the first time! We WILL to do even better this time! We MUST resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
And the real beauty of the 90 day pause is that it gives our former allies the ability to hammer out trade deals with OTHER estranged countries that circumvent ANY trade relationships with the USA going forward. No one is going back to an abusive relationship with the USA!
I think he backed down mind you temporarily…due to Republican backlash. He is still a volatile President and could do anything unthinkable, unpredictable and harm his own country. He is unfit.
But Trump is just warming up his clown car he has plenty of time to make more horrendous decisions. He should have all of his powers removed till "We sort this all out".
Pete, I love you, but he didn't "back down," on the tariffs; this was the plan all along. It's a scam, and it's illegal - like everything else he does and isn't held accountable for
He didn’t back down. He cashed in. The fact that we think he backed down is the problem. He is good with us finding joy in his backing down as he is finding joy in his bank balance.
He wasn't forced to do shit. This was a stock buy back scheme that in a functioning USA would land his orange ass in prison. Strap in folks, it's only going to get dumber.
He's using tariffs to manipulate the Stock Market. Tell friends that he is going to announce tariffs, they sell, market crashes, he tells his friends he's going to cancel the tariffs so they can buy and the markets head back up.
Insider trading care of POTUS.
Almost for sure he and his pompous billionare buddies bought themselves a shitload of stock at the lowest low… insider trading… is that a crime in the US?
The world shouldn't back down though. Europe, Canada, Mexico and China should work together and declare 'A tariff on one of us, is a tariff on all of us and retaliatory tariffs will go on until those so called reciprocal tariffs are lifted on all of us.'
But I'm not very confident, that the understanding of game theory goes deep enough amongst world leaders to understand why this is the only plan that will work long term.
We must, MUST not give up and keep the pressure on for the GOP and everyone around him! They don't all have the teflon coating he has and believe it or not, he can't do it alone!
And do not forget the other damage done by all of this. Companies stockpiled investory in anticipation. Some of them will now be stuck with it. Not to mention some companies probably laid off workers. Lots of damage was done. And he will continue to dangle that threat.
Also, every country in the world is pissed off at us now. Except Putin of course. It will take generations before our former allies trust us again. If they ever do. He accomplished this in less than 3 months.
I don’t think that was the point of this tariff whiplash at all 😒. I believe he really does not have any idea what he will do next 😳. Kid in a candy store, “oooh what can I do with this?!?😡
His market manipulation has made him and his family enough bank for this week. He’ll revisit the tariffs next week when he’s ready for more insider trading.
👆🏾👇🏾”ÚLTIMA HORA - Pete Buttigieg:
“A veces, cuando fracasa lo suficientemente mal, Trump puede verse obligado a hacer lo que dice que nunca hace: CEDER.”
this is the 3rd time he teased tariffs and then backed off. He is very dangerous. He is having talks on Saturday with Iran? I think he is going to bomb Natanz nuclear facility with tactical nukes . This saturday
ConOld Plump only knows how to be a coward & weakling.. nothing else, at all. well, except for the amount of shit he spews.. put a spigot on this creature...
I have to shake my head at all the people that think he failed to do exactly what he wanted to do. Kinda pathetic. I wonder how much he made off of criminal manipulation this time. 🤨
Yep.USA’s current population is 346,790,860. 269,487,291 of these—77.71%—did not vote for Donald Trump. Of the 155,512,532 Americans who voted in the 2024 election,Trump won 77,303,569; 78,208,963 voted for other candidates. Trump’s plummeting approval rating is 43%. Now is the time to impeach him.
What a snake!!! This morning, stocks AND bonds are tanking. 1/2hr after market opens, he tweets "let's get rich" and the market goes to even. 4 hours in he declares a pause and stocks sky rockets. Someone made billions in less than 2 hours. A millions of American citizens lost.
Krassensteins pissed that market up big, AND 75 countries coming to the table to negotiate. Meanwhile, another American killed by an illegal alien and Kraiss boys say NOTHING!
To be clear: that is NOT what happened here. He did a con. An obvious, out in the open, con. He sold Truth Social Stock. Tanked the Market with Tariffs. Used the cash he made selling Truth Social to buy actually good stocks cheap (because he tanked the market) THEN … he stopped the tariffs. $$$.
U.S. Trade Representatives are claiming that there are maybe 15 countries that have made explicit offers that their studying and considering to present to the President. None of the US trade reps knew of the tariff pause. Trump said there were 75 countries with offers. All BS, theres no F'ing PLAN
But did he back down or gift his buddies billions. If he simply announced it without telling his followers to BUY before he did it, they would not have been able to front-run the market. PURE INSIDER INFO/Trading risk free. Check who took big call positions for the day betting he would do it
Ok!!! NOW HEAR THIS SANE AMERICA!!! While I'm ALL about Freedom of Speech, PLEASE Stop taunting the fucking beast! We've got to be more CLEVER and QUICK WITTED about how we handle someone who is obviously mentally defective. Reverse Psychology maybe??
No. Fuck “he backed down we’re safe”. No we fucking are not.
Great. He backed down tariffs that were fucking illegal in the first place; Impeach that mother fucker AGAIN for any one of his now documented crimes, and let’s hope to God it sticks this time.
OAK is trying to mobilize the US to make impeachment a reality. It's a citizen's impeachment project that's gaining traction, working on getting confirmations from congress, and pressuring those who haven't commented or say no into supporting.
He didn’t back down though. He very deliberately engaged in market manipulation and will continue doing so. This wasn’t a “good sign”, it was further criminality.
Hv you ever met a feral pig? Ugly. V dangerous. If you catch one on purpose or by accident, it'll try to rip your face off. It won't back down but it will always look for a way out.
The caskets may be the only way to get Trump and his loyalists out of our government forever. And we gotta shut the Heritage Foundation down too, destroy their Project 2025 plans and their line fo succession plans.
His "backing down" was part of the tariffs' game and financial market manipulation.
It was all a game to enrich himself and his family and the oligarchs.
We, the commoners, lost our retirements and savings.
He doesn't care, Congress doesn't care, and maga still believes he is a genius.
He's ultimately a populist -- or if you interpret him as a child unloved by his parents -- so while bullying is his game, getting approval is his ultimate goal if he realize he can't win with his usual and limited tactics. That's why various ppl said he's "easily manipulatable".
They may be off the hook within the administration; however, their incompetence has been noted by US allies. Trust has been eroded and steps are being taken. The USA may find it has no allies when they most need them.
It’s a play. A choreographed performance. And for some reason MAGAts will think he’s improving the economy every time the market closes with any gains. Let’s start the ⏱️ to see how long it takes until his next threat of tariffs?? 📉📉📉📈📉📉📈

EVERYONE has to stand up to the bully, threaten to exclude the bully and/or punish the bully publicly.

But he'll never admit it. 'It was planned all along' etc.
(That means every word out of his mouth this week was a lie--something his fans are rarely forced to confront.)
#Unfit
#25thTrump
Fox News notes that "stocks soar after Trump’s tariff pivot".
Like a Bloomberg analyst just said, Trump just got bullied, by the bond markets, and foreign economies, who stood up to him.
The fact that billionaires took advantage is just opportunism, but it is clearly a strategic failure!
Foreign economies: You do.

Like that comment was a surprise.
SEC, watching and listening?
He was supposed to stick to the mandate given him in Helsinki in 2018.
That, and the Turd's 'gang of morons' are the worst, most corrupt and inept administration in history.

Boycott US goods, fight back, ditch the dollar has a reserve currency, and hope Starmer locates his spine!
Abracadabra, you’re still broke, markets are down and 401ks are still being eviscerated.

He (& pals) got a whole lot richer at our expense.
ON EVERYTHING.
Why would ANYONE (especially U.S. citizens) trust him.
He needs to be ousted. Now.
After all, he's immune from prosecution.
America sucks with Trump as POTUS
Dump and pump and dump and pump and dump and pump...

trump & his bunch today only made a lot of money

What he did is essentially SHORT the USA...
Akin to the pump & dump.

He manipulated the market to enrich his buddies.
