Trump’s tariff reversal came after he watched an interview on Fox Business with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, during which the bank boss said that a recession was a “likely outcome” of the new trade policies, according to the Washington Post.

Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday when he decided to put a pause on the tariffs.

“I would say this morning. Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about it. Fairly early this morning,” he said.

He's literally a psychopath. There's a lot of psychopaths in high places because America rewards their accomplishments.

It's great to be a "radical left" these days and be allowed to openly and freely doubt the mental togetherness of the orange buffoon.

It’s important to the world to drop the “quietly” bit.

The US administration is behaving erratically and irrationally. This isn’t a punchline to some smug joke, it has important repercussions for world trade and defence needs.

Let’s cut the conspiracy theories about how they are doing this for graft, and the unfounded “4d chess” approaches. Some people in the administration may be trying to steer the government in these ways, but the captain of the ship is an unleashed chaos monkey surrounded by sycophantic yes-men.

The tariffs could double tomorrow or be gone tomorrow. The US could invade Greenland with a military force tomorrow or drop it completely move onto some shiny new idiocy.

We in the rest of the world need to move with urgency in order to be prepared for the worst. This is a tall task, so the longer we keep these admissions quiet the longer we are vulnerable

He is doing it for a grift, it's pretty out in the open. You're right about the 4d chess though. That's his thing, think like a stupid mob boss that only does it for the grift. He thinks they owe him a favor now.

I quietly fear that fish doesn’t have a tariff plan and that they might be swimming.
