Trump Caves To Market Pressure, Pauses ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs Across The Board
Hey MAGAs, what were these tariffs good for again?
Folks, as it turns out, the Medicine that Trump strongly believed the entire world ‘needed’ has been effectively thrown out the window by him, except for China's rising dose of 125% and rising, instead announcing a 90-day pause on his sweeping reciprocal tariff plan thanks to mounting investor concerns.
Trump has caved to market pressure because he has no clue what he’s doing. At no point in his political career has there ever been a 5D chess master plan behind his actions, like MAGAs would have us believe.
His behavior is demonstrably that of an impulsive narcissist who is surrounded by way too many yes-men. ‘Negotiation tactic’ my foot! He has substantially reduced all tariffs across the board to a 10% universal rate for all countries with little prompting, except the allegation he’s floating around that someone kissed his ass really hard.
I mean, how much more can you expect from a man with a total of about 10 failed businesses trying to run the country like a casino? Do keep in mind that many of those failed businesses were, in fact, casinos. He can’t even run a rigged-to-his-favor business.
Over to you MAGAs, why don’t you go ahead and riddle us this one too.
