China called his bluff, and the western world started lining up behind them. Someone got it through his thick skull that the US can’t fight everyone at once. Too bad… the intl damage is done. F the USA until they get rid of this unreliable clown.

Forget about Trump’s credibility; what about the credibility of our markets? After this enormous wealth transfer by fiat, who would argue or believe that our markets, the most traded in the world, are fair and orderly? The relief rally doesn’t convince me, and the ultimate repercussions w/b fatal.

OMG this is like a Monte Python sketch. No wonder he's such a shitty negotiator - there is absolutely no consistency in his positions. His supporters get "yippy" or "queasy" or WTF and he completely flip flops. I hope all trading partners, law firms etc. take note. Stand up and he will back down

What???? You mean you had to have flexibility, while trust in the US is in the toilet all because you understand NOTHING about economics, international relations or any of the things necessary to run a country. You blinked on a truly stupid approach

🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔Actually, Donald it sounds like you have to be mentally unstable & get to a point where you snap in order to reel yourself back in. The world called your bluff and you folded-plain & simple, Einstein. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 #TrumpTariffs 🇨🇦

I cannot stand to listen to his complete ignorance. If I were standing there hearing that shit I'd immediately walk the fuck out with 2 birds flying. What a piece of shit market manipulator. I hole they all get caught and go to prison because they did this only to get richer.

If I were China right now, I'd be forging closer ties with the rest of the world on global trade by reminding them that in 90 days, y'all gonna have to do this stupid shit again with this fucking moron.

The 10% blanket tariff remains. That is still going to cause prices to soar at the grocery stores and retail shops. Think of a 10% blanket tariff like another 10% tax on top of the sales tax on most products we buy. This will still be devastating to our economy.

Trump appears to be suffering from (among many other things) Munchausen by Proxy. Trump caused the market to crash and then, after the largest, fastest crash ever seen, he removes the tariffs and claims credit for the greatest day in stock exchange history. Proof of his brilliance

Anyone would be a complete fool to take the word of a well-known grifter like Trump. What happened today is like a wildfire started by a madman burning out of control, that got suddenly put out by a very lucky random torrential rain with the madman claiming that was the plan all along.

Nah, you're good. Anyone who thinks "power dressing" is a real thing that actually accomplishes anything is fair game to have their outfit made fun of. Especially when they chose to wear the same dumb outfit every time.

But what changed? Why would he have to be "flexible" if he was doing the absolutely right thing for the economy, as he claimed? He spent three days defending his nonsense tariff plan to the hilt. He just folded because he can't stand people being critical of him or laughing at him. What a loser.

Joe Biden was punished for having occasional "senior moments," even though he knew how to do the damn job. The moron white America replaced him with has NO FUCKING CLUE what he's doing, and neither do the morons standing behind him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Markets hate uncertainty. Worse than stupid policies. Trump is flooding the zone w/constant directional changes, indecisiveness, no plans. There’s no confidence on stability. Trump is making it impossible for Wall Street to price the future. And investors are spooked for good.

Of course things change in the financial markets when you put tariffs on the whole world. Just say what actually happened. You caved like the little bitch you are!

This is the same shit he said during Covid. 1.”COVID will be over in two weeks” 2. “ It’s just a bad flu” 3. “ Don’t panic” It’s all lies.. Blind faith will lead you to nothing.

Yup. I'd bet that before he announce the pause in his tariffs he told all those who shorted the market before he inflicted them, who then shorted the market, so that they could repurchase the fallen stocks and ride them up again. Trump created a reciprocating wealth engine for his billionaire buds.

Then he looks back at racing drivers and says "Sometimes you have to go through walls. You guys understand that." Yes, many Indy500 drivers have driven through walls and went on to victory.
