Hilarious Trump market manipulation reaches anew height

I wonder when he closed his shotrs and opened longs.....

Here's his Truth Social statement in full:
"Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately.
At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.
"Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
We are continuing to decipher the specifics of Trump's announcement, stick with us for the latest.

@Jokersswild So, why are all the leaders coming here to talk tariffs? The US was a mega producer and can be again.

@Jokersswild Guessing your not a US citizen?

@nudistsueaz Amwerica was a majour producer. Silicon vally used to make all the chips. The big 3 used to make at least all US cars. Pharma used to be dominated by US. Its was these big corps that spread their production aorunfd the world in prder to expand and domnate the world. Thats when the cheap labout economies started to take the jobs away. The big US corps still domnate the world in many technologies, its mainly the low paid jobs that were exported. With the US cost of living why would you want the low wage jobs back ??

@Captain Most of this work can be done with robotics now
Captain · 61-69, M
@nudistsueaz Then why the need for tariffs ??
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Captain Why is it most in the UK don't care for Trump? Is it because of his Irish heritage?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Captain You really need to ask that of the countries that have imposed tariffs on us. We are just trying to level the playing field.

@nudistsueaz Well yes we only took on tariffs when we joined the EU. It was not our way (Adam Smith wealth of nations).

@Captain He doesn't really care about abortion. He just wanted to return the choice to the individual states, where it belongs. Obama care has almost nothing with health care. It's just a tax and if you don't have it, your fined. I need some prof on the antifreeze thing, never heard that.

@Captain Plus he has stopped the invasion, that was huge.
Captain · 61-69, M
@nudistsueaz Google it, ... It got massive press in the UK because as you say, we are a bit Trumpophobic and have been very when he fisrt boast onto the scene (and that's compared to a Biden who's first words to the BBC after being elected were "Im Irish" and off he walked displaying total disresepct to us (Noraid supporter). Do to be second best to a man who sponsred terrorism against out innocent civilians which caused more civailian deaths than 9-11 is quiet an achievement. As you can tell Im no lover of either party really but I am convinced that Trump plays these markets with these u turns. He did it in his last presidency as well.

@nudistsueaz I don't think he did just as we havent. In the time he has failed to build one wall, i managed to build three in my back garden (you can only see two here because they are so immense), So I doubt it.
