It won't be long before they're saying "Just trust that he knows what he's doing. He works in mysterious ways!"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

they may not know what to say, but they're probably thinking: "why ain't you lettin' me in on the illegal stock market manipulation and insider trading?"
They aren't really "struggling to explain it", so much as "struggling to explain it, in a way that doesn't imply market manipulation and insider trading". Because that IS the only rational explanation for what he's doing.
Calling it now, insider trading (If that wasnt obvious already, look at the market 30 min. before the announcment)
It couldn't be any more blatant. Trump himself blasted out the insider trading info 3hrs before announcing the tariff reversal:
3hr later:

Despite confusion and lack of clarity, officials tried to play up Trump’s unpredictability as strategic leverage rather than a sign of disarray.
That's literally all Trump's teams ever do and have ever done.
Its a sign for all possible investors to flee the US. You'll never get your money back when its eaten on the whims of an octagarian pants-shitter.
I just heard NPR, a more consistent and reliable source, state that the US would be one of the worst off GDP wise if the tariffs were to stick. Volatility is the goal right now. They're pumping and dumping and also trying to distract from all the civil and human rights violations.
