      They are literally pumping and dumping the stock market as a whole. It’s market manipulation by tariff as they make bank on peoples fear.

      Pure idiotic fuckery is what’s going on and the idea of a market rebound is hilarious to me because even without global tariffs there are plenty of other things he can do and IS doing to create instability in the USA. He’s gotta go, the sooner the better.

      When I played Pokemon as a kid, I would get so mad when my Pokemon ‘hurt itself in confusion’. I thought, how the hell is that even possible. But now I see it first hand…

    Personally I’m siding with China he’s going to hit the rest of us again in 3 months again. This is blatant stock manipulation in my opinion and he should be jailed for both that and treason.

      No, they haven’t even got started yet. This is the advertisements before the show, people are still sitting down and buying snacks.

    Why stop there? Why not 500% or 1000%? We’ll see the greatest US market in history. It’d be legendary. Like no president has ever done before. /S

    This guy is a moron. The United States will be in a self made recession or depression very soon cause of this clown.

      Trump should just create a tarrif that doubles whatever increase the target nation does.

      So tarrifs China 50%. China hits back 50% so now China is 150%

      Then China should do the same and raise tarrifs.

      Then we’ll have infinity tarrifs!

        And I think it should be exactly like that.

        Considering they have proven they can get algebra solved, with their (x-y)/x formula, China should retaliate with -50% tariff policy. United States doubles to -100%.

        Everytime you buy something from China, the US Government has to pay you it’s entire value.

    Now, I’m not an economist but it looks like orange pile was just testing how he could fuck around the economic beehive. I’m gonna get my money out after it recovers and a few days before the orange pile tries anything again. Probably I should move my retirement money overseas?

    I’m looking around for other strategies.

    He couldn’t handle china retaliations so had to pause tariffs elsewhere, so he can focus on china. Now he is forcing Americans to pay 125% tax on china imports.

    And then after 90 days what happens? Because if today you order stuff from another continent to be shipped by ocean, there’s a chance it will arrive after that date. Especially if everyone has the same idea of frontloading their warehouses before he changes idea again
