President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Wait a minute, I thought triangulation something and tariffs good.
I'm lost now.
I'm sure mong will come in a minute pointing at the stocks.
art of the deal
oh, wait, kre8tive beat me to it
And now the DOW is up 2000 points in the last hour in response to the 90-day pause. If that gain sticks, it will be the biggest single day rise in five years.
It sometimes feels like Trump is creating chaos just to prove that he can. Or maybe he has found some way to profit off the volatility.
On-off on-off is his standard play book - how many times do we have to see it before we stop being suprised by him playing 1D chess?
out of interest re insider trading type stuff - what's the statue of limitations?
Do you realize how much money his trading donors made?
I think no single action by an individual ever generated as much money as what trump made his trading donors make in the last week in humanity history by a large margin

is transparent grifting considered 4D chess? I think this is pretty one dimensional
welp, that didn't take long

FBI Director Kash Patel was removed as the Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and replaced by U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, seven people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
I really really doubt that any of this was some sort of plan to make his buddies rich. He's just a moron that does random ****.
Looks like overall narrative is quickly changing to free trade is good, zero to zero tariffs is good.
What will it be tomorrow?
We should have a Trump bingo.
there is a large quantity of grifters in politics, being far more succesful at that in just 3 months over 4 years than everyone else who came before by a gigantic margin still requires some skills.
Now wait until he sells his truth social stake for a lot of billions to some of the people he made money for with this engineered volatility

I dubious about a plan as well but some may have been aware of the details of the announcement before it was made.
It's not random ****. it's his standard mo. Still staggeringly profitable to exploit the timing if you have insider info.
Wow, what an accomplishment. trump is a master! He finally took over Biden's crappy economy starting today and look at the progress.
This is hysterical:
CNBC: Trump says he reversed tariffs because people were ‘a little bit yippy’ and ‘afraid’
Trump’s political operation is amplifying a Truth Social post the president sent just hours before he suspended most tariffs, in which he announced that it was “a great time to buy.”
“Did the Panicans listen to @POTUS’s advice this morning?” Trump War Room posted on X, just after the tariff pause announcement.

Meanwhile, further down the page CNBC has the following story from two hours prior:
CNBC: ‘This was his strategy all along,’ Bessent claims
Bessent says that Trump was always planning to pull back his sweeping tariff plans for dozens of countries just days after announcing it.
“This was his strategy all along,” Bessent tells reporters at the White House.
“You might even say he goaded China into a bad position,” Bessent says, referring to the fact that China, which imposed retaliatory tariffs, now faces higher U.S. duties while others get a reprieve.
They can't keep their story straight from one hour to the next.
CNBC: Trump’s morning ‘buy’ call nets huge returns for those who listened
Investors who followed President Donald Trump’s blunt advice to buy stocks on Wednesday morning received a windfall when the president hours later rolled back some of his market-ruining tariffs.
At 9:37 a.m. ET, just minutes after the opening bell, Trump posted on Truth Social that “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” That post ended with the letters “DJT,” which is both the president’s initials and the ticker for Trump Media & Technology, the parent company of Truth Social that he holds a majority stake in.
Theoretically, for anyone who bought into the market that minute on Trump’s urging, they netted a big return. Stocks shot up in a historic reversal in afternoon trading after Trump announced of a walkback on some tariffs, a stark turn after the unveiling of his plan to tax imports last week torpedoed the market.

can't be insider trading if he told all you guys can it ?
Yup... when you know what's coming, it's pretty easy to make money. Who wadda thunk it.
I know you're likely being sarcastic...
... but you found the one time it's good to be a cult member.
Congrats.
Huge difference between him telling us all it's a good time to buy compared to someone knowing the specifics of the announcement a few minutes before he gave it.
That’s probably why trump overreached so easily with tariffs and market manipulation.
the congress usually should decided about it in a fashionable predictive manner right ?
But since you agree trump can abuse emergency measures to extent his power because his far right it’s all good for you …

? i think be abused the letter of the law introducing these tariffs, even if it has a wide scope, IEEA didn't allow for it.
But i am not even sure cases will be heard on that anymore given his backtracking
For the lawyers? If trumps actions could be found unlawful then could a big loser sue for the subsequent trades to be unwound
(not asking for a friend)
He's immune from prosecution for stuff he does as president tho.
He will do this market manipulation again and again and again.
Then on jan 19 2029 he will pardon all the traders pre-emptively a la Biden

My point was insider issues ir not .
You see how trump disdain the letter of the law and constitution procedure and not respecting political/democratic institution .
All those issues wouldn’t even happen if he wouldn’t uses emergency measures on false pretense like fentanyl from Canada or illegal immigration danger , enabling him to act on tariffs and other $h!t.
That is the definition of authoritarian like the people he admire , Putin etc …
And he achieves this by using force and threats .
America democracy is falling but since it’s on the side you love , it’s acceptable for you.
Ps: and yes it will get even worst …
