    how is this saving the economy?

    man is essentially starting a man made fire, extinguishing it with his piss and the right is cheering it on.

    what is the point of the 90 day pause? man flip flops all over the place making the market volatile as fk

    90 days gives Trump an opportunity to bankrupt another business, then he can manipulate the market again to cover his loss.

    I am sure whatever laws that Trump breaks don't really apply to Trump.


    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-roiling 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 a walkback on some tariffs, a stark turn after the unveiling of his plan to tax imports last week torpedoed the market.

    Did Trump Commit Illegal Stock Manipulation and Insider Trading Prior to His Tariff Cave-In?

    CRIMINAL STOCK MANIPULATION AND INSIDER TRADING? Trump posted a message saying that "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" Then a few hours later caved on his tariffs that he previously insisted were "here to stay." Why isn't he in prison? #TrumpRecession

    Best day in the market in 24 years. Great news for investors, families, and workers. Bad news for the people rooting against our economy for political reasons.


    GOOD DAY

    if this is not saving the economy, then tariffs and the resulting decline in the market were not hurting the economy.

    Let's see what happens tomorrow and Friday. During covid I saw some patterns. This isn't quite the same thing, but many times there were large drops at the end of a rally day to take gains when there is an obvious long downward trend and market uncertainty.

    This especially happened on Friday where you didn't want to be caught holding the bag when bad news dropped on the weekend. In an environment of uncertainty where a 2AM Saturday night tweet on the shitter about a 500% tariff on China can cause drastic changes in the market, the smart money will be out on the weekend.
