The REAL reason… Not “brilliant”. Not a “genius”. Not an “amazing dealmaker”. No “courage”. No “win”. He got scared. And he caved. Like the coward he is… www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/c...

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Literally just admitting he caved under the pressure. What a weak man.

I want to know what trades were made by members of the Trump Administration before these unhinged tariff moves? Who, if anyone, shorted stocks before the tariffs were first announced? Who bought back into the market before this pause was announced? Who is profiting from this?

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Ask yourself, does Trumps behaviour in the past 72 hrs make it more or less likely that large companies will want to invest and build factories in the USA? What do large corps. want from political leaders? Is it more or less likely that foreign nations will believe that Trump will act in good faith?

Yep.

The only people this is fooling are the usual slack jawed Cultists who believe everything Trump says. Trump just showed how easily influenced he is AGAIN. And the thing is, even if the morons were right, the fact that most intelligent people believe he caved means that its irrelevant anyway. Dumbass

He caves again. Trump cant be trusted in any way shape or form. How are financial markets and companies supposed to plan anything. Yesterday the Trump Administration was adamant that the tariffs were here to stay. Now he has caved into the financial pressure his idiocy has wrought. What a gobshite.

Markets want certainty, stability, and predictability. That’s how businesses plan, hire, and grow. What they don’t want is an unstable narcissist playing economic roulette on social media. Don’t be fooled, tariffs are still much higher on the world than before he was inaugurated.

BREAKING: In the most predictable of predictable news, trump has just ordered a 90-day pause on some tariffs. HE CAVED AGAIN. What a fucking clown.

In other words ,if you have made a social media post where you have decried the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children you will be denied entry into the USA. Can the media in the US please,please stop pandering to this administration .

I agee w Patrick. (We lived in China at same time, diff on many things, agree here.) Chinese leaders always reckoned with the vast depth of US strength. Institutions, networks, expertise. Now, in cold-blooded rather than triumphalist mode, they recognize they're dealing with nuts and clowns.

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

I've never been a Treasury secretary, so what would I know, but I reckon transparently lying about easily checked facts won't calm fears in the market, or the broader population.

For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day. He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees. Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm. His little son has stopped talking in his absence.

If an ordinary person can see that is an incoming disaster, the fact that these people don't is terrifying. Pure craven cowardice mixed with stupidity is going to lead to disaster.

The absolute opposite of what he has been saying for years. Now I wonder why he would say this?

I mean, to answer this jackass' question, Japan has more than 200 million fewer people than the US. So they literally can't buy as many cars or whatever from us as we can from them. This is really not that hard.

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism. Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

This is why Vance, Musk & the rest of them talk about our ‘free speech’ being under threat while they fast track actual fascism in the USA. It’s a long con & their accomplices are far-right blue ticks with the brains of blancmange.
