Mango’s just making it sound like he prevented a nuclear war.

People with good hearts and good souls don’t announce their status.

I think it’s a combination of both. The tariffs didn’t yield the expected (idiotic) results and he had to back down, so he decided to take advantage of the situation to manipulate the markets.

He literally posted

It was done overtly today with the “pause” announcement. Today, Mango announced on TV that now is a good time to buy, then within hours, boom. He was clueing in his base at the very least.

That would be like a word salad without dressing. Mango insists on confusion.

Or he’s been tortured and they’re afraid he’ll talk about it.

April 20 is also Easter Sunday this year. In Christianity Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus; Mango is likened to Jesus by his MAGAt followers. Resurrection of Hitler?

That’s why I said 9 of them, referring to 9 of the 12 justices (injustices) who voted for “immunity.”
comment in response to post
As is the Supreme Court. 9 of them anyway.

Reciprocal implies tit for tat, as originally explained by Mango. We should be charging 0% on banana-producing countries, as banana-producing countries do not import US bananas. No matter how it’s looked at, Mango is nutso.

Wait, how is it America First to crash Americans' 401K's to make foreigners richer?

And cocoa. Candy manufacturers have to be thrilled.

So he can have his base think he knows what he’s doing. More gaslighting.

Senator Chris Murphy posted a clear explanation of what Trump is doing with tariffs. It took him 11 posts on Bluesky which I consolidated into one document with no changes.

The flat rate tariff system is nonexistent, until now. Tariffs on average were less than 3%, all depending on the import good and the country of origin. As usual, Mango’s presentation chart is a pack of lies.
comment in response to post
Except the reasons for the income tax ARE known and were wildly popular when instituted. Tariffs disproportionately burden the the working and middle classes, barely affecting the wealthy.

Why not the rhetoric? The US conceded all that when it elected Mango. Canadian national pride is in order, especially now.
