Donald Trump stunned markets Wednesday with another quick pivot on trade, announcing he would authorize a 90-day pause on his reciprocal tariff plans for all countries except China and telling reporters he did so because people were getting "yippy" and "afraid."
"They were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid," he said Wednesday, referring to the market unrest that unfolded following his "Liberation Day" tariff announcement a week ago.

So, going by this logic, tariffs weren’t paused because he got concessions from 75 countries (whom he won’t name, by the way), but because people got scared.
But the cult will try to gaslight you into thinking he pulled off massive concessions with these tariffs. This quote contradicts their sentiments.
The market manipulation is just one more thing to investigate when we take power again.

Justice matters.
(8,294 posts)1. The unpunished convicted felon wants "secret personal gifts"
from those 75 countries.
That's what all these "negociations" are about.
"Gimme $xxx millions and keep it a secret if you want no tariffs on your country"...
It's his modus operandi.
