i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social would love to see a @cnbc.com investigation into whether Trump spread the news around to his friends prior to his 90 day announcement so they could cash in.

Exactly. He’s a malignant narcissist, a narcissistic sociopath, a megalomaniac. It’s all about this. Some of us tried to warn everyone.

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior. But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this: The psychology of dominance. 🧵(1/5)

Trump doesn’t care that he just created an economic sinkhole. And there’s no strategy behind the tariff chaos — it’s all about personal grievances and settling scores. My column: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

@stephruhle.bsky.social Steph, your Friday night show is excellent and a must watch on days when the market goes crazy. Please try to get CNBCs Joe Kernen on (though I doubt he would agree to appear).

Trump said he was going to end this conflict less than 24 hours after taking office with one phone call to Putin. He also said repeatedly in the last few weeks how much Putin wants peace. He has nothing to say about this tonight though.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.
