After stock markets plummeted in response to Donald Trump’s announcement of widespread tariffs, he suddenly announced a 90-day pause on the new policy. Capital will resist any measure that threatens profits — and that’s just what happened yesterday.

It always has been — wars (conventional or economic) would be impossible to wage otherwise.

Why can’t he just use drones to fight an economic war?

He is, actually! They’re called Republicans.

Bullshit. He can’t learn.

Besides, this has always just been a pump-and-dump scheme.

Yeah, that headline reeks of fake news.

Yesterday Trump Waked Up in a Different Mood and Couldn’t Remember What He Had Done the Day Before would be slightly more believable.

He did learn alot from his first term: How to be powerful as a president for example

Which alot is that? …blogspot.com/…/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everyt…

“Powerful” isn’t quite the word I’d use.

Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

Not sure if it’s malice or stupidity

Definitely reminds me of Liz Truss vs lettuce

Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

Both can be true in this case.

¨Sir, you are scaring the banks, and if banks get scared they kill presidents. They hire professionals, not some kid on a roof.¨

¨Oh¨

Trump learned

No he didn’t.

No he fucking didn’t, and trying to push this narrative lets him pass responsibility on one of the greatest market manipulation schemes ever seen. This shit is going exactly according to plan.
