Insert George Carlin quote number 18647
I'm waiting for the market to either stop responding or crash and never recover since you can't trust this fucking asshole.

I've been saying this all along. Not just about this time, but he has pulled off a similar trade scare every month since he took office, with the same result - he announces tariffs, the market tanks, he rattles his sabre a bit, then pauses the tariffs, and the market rises again.
This has been the third, and biggest one, probably because he needed to make it a big one as he cried wolf for a third time. Which means the next time he does it, it will have to be even bigger.
Its clearly market manipulation, of a type that only president could do, but only if he were corrupt enough.
Unfortunately, if it were only the president who's corrupt, he would have already been impeached and removed. Even if there were a question about whether he does or does not want to become an authoritarian dictator, ignoring everything that is hinting at it, he is digging himself in the sort of hole that he can only survive in as long as he retains power and I'm sure he knows it.
We can still end this democratically, but the window is rapidly retreating.

Is it 125% for China and 10% for everyone else currently?... for 90 days?
Or is it 10℅ across the board for 90 days?
I'll wait for his next tweet to make all my speculation pointless. Fuck this guy.
This is why countries need to make export tariffs in retaliation and leave them on during the chaos. Let the prices of everything in the US soar but allow them to collect none of it.

That sounds like market is a shitty invention if it is so easy to manipulate it /s
im so tired.
I know that’s the point but please just let me go
You're tired because you've been reading the overly-amplified nonsense crafted by agents working both sides of every social issue for longer than you've likely been alive.
Your exhaustion isn't just the point, it's the goal, it's the goal for all of us, and it's literally the reason why almost half of America still approves of our president and current situation.
He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.
He did? We have him on tape trying to get votes that didn't exist, but haven't heard much about voting computers being rigged.
He vaguely implied Elon was rigging them, saying he had a "little secret" that was going to win them the election
Vaguely implied is very different to openly admitted lol
Just telling you what I know I'm not the one who said he openly admitted it
I'm not implying you do, just acknowledging what you say is very different than what someone else says. Also not saying I don't believe you, I do.

Got a source? I remember him saying Elon was great at the voting computers but that's not exactly the same thing.
Parent commenter may be recalling this story but not sure
Beginning at 2:31:24, the full quote reads:
[Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, and he's a popular guy, and he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like, in a landslide, so it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon.

And what will happen? Fuck all. And that’s why America is a fucking joke. If any of you on here did this it would be punishable. But you have someone as president who actually made himself go above the law..
Of course it is.
There was definitely a rumor that caused a market spike two days ago until the white house immediately called it "fake news" which the media took at Trump's word as they always so gullibly do. Well as it turns, out, this "fake news" got the duration of the pause right to the exact number of days.
Now everyone seems to be pretending they don't remember that this happened just two days ago and I just don't get it. Shouldn't somebody be asking why some random people on Twitter seemed to know Trump's plans in advance?
Maybe Trump got the idea from that rumor. Self-fulfilling prophecy. /s
