Anybody remember that rendition of “I won’t back down?” Well, Trump backed down on tariffs as @mollyjongfast.bsky.social Rick Wilson and I discuss on “The Jim Acosta Show.” https://youtu.be/VCSr4d9hzak?si…

Yes, he backed shown. But, pretend you’re Putin, what did it accomplish?
1. It further isolated Americans from allies.
2. It caused a dip and spike in the market, allowing insiders to profit.
3. It further destabilized our economy.
The Republican women I know have one issue that they post about, and that is the trans people playing women's sports. They avoid all other women's issues, SS, the economy, and the Federal job loss.
How do we know this wasn’t a ploy for the mkt to plummet so the rich could take advantage “buy low” and then have mkt rebound making them beaucoup$$$ when tariff calked off. Everything is a scam with him.
I hope you feel the same, but you leaving CNN is the best thing that ever happened to us viewers. A show where you don't have to be PC/FCC-friendly and have honest conversations w/intelligent people for 50 min. instead of one segment is just what we need right now. Thank you, this was fascinating.
He's using tariffs as a tool to intimidate. Like a mobster does. Blackmail, bullying, extortion. That's all he knows. He's not a diplomat, and he has no moral foundation or compass.
Jim - You are an upstanding individual of journalism ... pleasure to hear you, watch you & support you. Thanks for your strength in a most honorable profession that Trump is attempting to disintegrate. We must return to the days where we can depend upon journalistic integrity ! ...Thanks !
Keep reminding #MoneyBooBoo every BACKING DOWN is him admitting he got it very wrong before someone with a brain stepped in and told him how wrong he was
He’ll do it again and they will call his bluff and the stock market will go down and all his friends will buy low. They are just looking to make money for themselves.
100% They had such a good time with the banking & housing crisis in 2007, they're ready to do it again!
Banks tanked the economy, got bailed out. So many homes were lost, prices hit 1970s levels, but laid-off people couldn't afford them. The rich bought them all.
They're looking at bigger game. There are family farms about to sell for pennies on the dollar. Corporate farms will still want the subsidies, just not the pesky families that get in the way! Then again, they did vote for the turd.
He runs the USA like he does a business 🤣 just look up how many companies of his have failed and how many bankruptcies he's had. He's lied to banks about inflated wealth to secure loans to open companies with said loans, never paid anyback, gets sued, stalls it out in Court, sues back etc etc etc.
It's how he plays the game of life. If it fails, oh well, he will fail at many more things till the day he dies. To him, they are not failures, but achievements,classic narcissist!! He lies until it becomes a truth in his head & then it becomes public truth to his MAGA cult. Half brains! all MAGA's
The ‘no guardrails’ approach isn’t working very well for him. Guardrails are good. They keep you from going off a cliff on sharp curves. Only crazy people don’t like guardrails.
It was an interesting interview and analysis, should be a “must view” for Democrats currently holding office. I’m looking forward to more music additions and your heartfelt message at the end is A+
I. DON'T. BUY. IT. He's using this ruse to artificially deflate the market +++ to make the maximum amount of returns for him & the rest of the bottom dwellers.
True, follow the money. It’s the family pump and dump crypto scam, the dropping of charges Justin Sun, Musk burying the investigations into Tesla and SpaceX. Can they steal money any faster? Junior getting paid $810K to go to 2 meetings. All the while destroying our democracy.
We are all marks
And Newsom backed down today on his new podcast, allowing Charlie Kirk to preach his bullshit non stop, unchallenged. It was horrendous. This CA resident will never stand tall for him again. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
This is so evidently illegal stock market manipulation. He's abusing his position to "crash" and "revive" stock prices with tweets. Something that is extremely illegal. Meanwhile, a few hundred legislators, on both sides, looks away or sits and claims they'll get him "on the next thing".
Every time Trump craters the stock market and then backtracks, it's a huge insider trading scheme. He can't get caught if it's his Russian patrons and offshore oligarch accounts that are profiting, and SEC is shut down.
Can Trump be finagling with tariffs to purposely affect the stock market for the wealthy? Trump has to understand that eventual consumer absorbs the amount of the tariff when buying imported product. Trump also enjoys manipulating people, for the fun of it.
Even so: all countries now planning on tariffs against U.S. exports should go forward with them until the Unified Reich is no more, with both the Oval Office Gangster and Boy Wonder J.D. no longer in power
And he’ll spin it, claiming some kind of victory, minions will buy it hook, line, & sinker, and we’ll hear about how “THIS is what they voted for, a strong leader”. Same ole story over & over. I mean high egg prices are good now because we can all just build chicken coops
Thanks for that ending. You used the image of Musk with his chainsaw in sobering contrast to the suffering inflicted on random people. Yes, Musk and Trump are completely mask off, revelling in cruelty. And every fibre of me abhors it. They are inhumane.
He didn’t back down, I don’t think he was ever gonna do it-do you?
Meanwhile, the innocent panic sold based on logic, and the gang scooped up stocks. How many times can you cry wolf?
So many of us have figured this out now.
It’s the same for crypto.
Is there another explanation that makes sense?
Have to call felon orange out. 24/7 nonstop, bang the drum! He’s a filthy felon, full stop! Mealy mouths making excuses for him! Call him out! No more cherry picking words, misinformation, he misspoke, media dances around the fact he’s a stone cold liar! Just stop! He’s a dangerous felon.
Trump backed down because he handles everything as a bully. It is unfortunate people voted for him. Now, the world has a mess and We The People are being attack and The Constitution violated.
I love your shows Jim! I gt to laugh & get great information & see a lot of the true emotion that I am feeling too! You have the greatest guests! Keep up the awesome work!!!!! Hugs! ❤️💙🇺🇸

Nonsense. Tariffs today rescinded tomorrow is part of a well-planned pump and dump scheme run out of the executive branch, with the Republican congress and the Supreme Court in on the game.
This, not the market, is the key to Trump's capricious, seemingly stupid behavior. Yes, Trump's a stupid, flighty guy who does stupid, flighty things. But, bottom line, Trump's not concerned about the market, Trump's concerned about following Putin's instructions. Vladdy's his daddy. Chaos good.

America’s trading partners retaliated when their products were shut out of U.S. markets.
S&H were Republicans.

Trump and MAGA are normalizing antisocial behaviors and trumps sadism
He moved the lines by pushing boundaries of cruelty and when no one pushes back, he moves forward and the goal posts for the rest of the population
Then he does something worse & the focus changes to new
They want the other stuff if they can get it, but if not, maybe later, but at least they've owned the stock market.
Man is a wishy washy and dumb!
Any idea why the Trump kids aren’t around this time?
