Summary
Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday after a surge in bond yields, triggering sharp criticism—even from Fox News.
Fox Business’ Charlie Gasparino said the administration “capitulated” due to market pressure, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 4.5%.
Japan, not China, reportedly dumped U.S. bonds, worsening financial instability.
Despite no trade deals, Trump tried to claim a “win” and announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries—except China, which now faces tariffs up to 125%.

No, he didn’t.
He inentionally cratered stock prices, told everyone rich to buy, then “capitulated” the next day to cause stock prices to surge.
This is called “Market Manipulation.” It’s supposed to be illegal, and it is for peasants. But not for him, or Musk, or…
Of course he capitulated.
What he’s used to is others buckling when he throws his weight around.
Nobody blinked or bent to his will, and he doesn’t grasp the basic idea of contingency planning for when things don’t go your way.
He has no plans that do not involve someone else bending the knee. He’s not able to plan anything without this component in place.
This is also much, much more likely as an explanation than pre-planned “market manipulation”
That doesn’t mean that a bunch of peoplr weren’t tipped off about the plans in advance, but that’s not why he changed his mind here. He’s both stubborn AND reactive.

he is used to domestic politics, yes.
He’s a grifter. This was always going to be a vehicle for market manipulation. You don’t “make deals” if you actually want companies to build new factories in your country.
History shows us that you can safely assume Trump is lying when he says something will be good for the American people. Full stop.
It’s always going to be a con or straight up lie.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t lying about terrorizing immigrants.
His billionaire owners were about to recall him from his token job.
