The nuke was already dropped. They threw out existing deals, threatened to ruin and annex Canada, then set about acting on that.
Actual nuke deal with Ukraine has been ignored too. Who in the world will make a deal with a Republican ever again? Countries will be conveniently civil, while divesting.
It doesn’t matter at this point. Confidence in the US as a trading partner had been seriously compromised. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to go there if I could do business in another country. Might make a little less but I’d still be able to feed my family.
The time to say that was days if not weeks ago, ackman. It’s too late to pretend give a shit about supply chains. This isn’t a bankruptcy hearing you can postpone to negotiate against yourself and pray that this batshit crazy moron finds Jesus.
A 90 day timeout would lock in America as the most capricious trading partner on the planet. Who could possibly believe we'll negotiate and then stick to the deal? Who will believe any deadline or concession, when we've shown that tomorrow it could all change? Relationships are build on trust.
Exactly. Putting a 90-day anything into this just guarantees 90 days of continued uncertainty.
Someone needs to find a way for man-baby Trump to end this now while somehow declaring victory, since there's no way he'll admit this was all just a terrible idea.
Yeah, you can’t unring the bell. From here to the end of this administration (and likely beyond) the US is going to be treated with, at best, a certain level of suspicion
Bill Ackman who endorsed Trump in the election and his over $9 billion in net worth has now realized that the actions of the man he backed are going to cause catastrophic damage to the economy.
I'd ask how you get so rich by being so stupid, but then just look at Trumps Cabinet...
I am NEVER going to forget that he was allowed to say that on CNBC with minimal pushback. All those new viewers at home watching the show…I had to calm myself down. I limited my CNBC time after that even though I liked a lot of guests, analysts & panelists. B.A. only thinking of his own book.Period.
Why do this big wigs take it upon themselves to speak on behalf of the country and what we are or are not in support of? Dude more than 50% voted against this Clown while you were kissing his ass.
I will never understand how these types have thrown away all credibility they achieved over decades in successful careers all for orange foolius. Those classified boxes in his bathroom must have been all of these people participating in a Tijuana donkey show.
"Leopards eating faces party," "FAFO," etc. It's naive to think that a "90-day timeout" will prevent the catastrophe that's already been unleashed on the United States. But then again, what do I know? I'm not a billionaire "entrepreneur" whose racism prompted him to support this idiot for president.
"Confidence game" is the root of con. Capitalism isn't or shouldn't be a con. Ackman is just hoping to game things for his advantage. For years he's felt like a genius. I say, tax the wealthy a lot more, chop the tariffs honestly, and IMO think we will see normal, healthy capital markets.
Imagine saying all this and STILL not getting that Trump is the fucking problem and we cannot move forward until he’s removed. Which country in their right mind would ever trust anything that degenerate liar says? We are not a trustworthy country with Trump as President.
During Covid, in March 2020, didnt Bill Ackman call into Squawk Box on CNBC and give a speech saying that the world is practically over and he was selling everything? I think he literally marked the bottom with that interview.
Asshole is making a market just like he did with Covid by selling shorts that were put in place weeks ago and now goosing his returns by talking down the market.
It’s funny that these fools think he can simply call it off and everything returns to normal. Why would ANYONE trust our markets if he can simply wipe away trillions with no pushback? Why would consumers suddenly feel better? And suddenly calling it off only underscores his instability.
“And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.”
Other countries protecting their own industries is somehow disloyal to the USA. 🙄
When Ackman says other countries protect their jobs at the expense of millions of American jobs, that plays well to the feelings many Americans have, but reality doesn't care about anyone's feelings and the reality is we don't have a job shortage in the USA, we have a worker shortage.
Ackman is one of the biggest dipshits on planet earth and that’s the nicest thing you could say about him. He and his plagiarizing wife can get fucked.
1st? What country is 100% behind Trump? Only 30% of people voted for him. And I’m guessing as they lose their jobs and anything that helps them during their unemployment, they will be less inclined to support this terrorist.

Voted for Trump at least twice. Ackman, like most billionaires, could suffer stunning financial loss and still be completely insulated from real life.
At one time he endorsed RKF Jr., which suggests to me Ackman's judgment at times falters.

From the Oxford Dictionary:
A swindle in which the victim is persuaded to trust the swindler in some way.
lololol
confidence is burned to the ground. economic war is in progress.

I'd use the "so close to getting it trope", but he clearly isn't.
Oh Bill, how deep can one man sink?

It's wild to me he's successful at anything.
