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.

@Captain Your fellow Brits. You people can not speak freely without reprisals for a cowardly government. That is just one of the reasons we sent your kin back across the pond, and why we have our constitution.

@TexChik Which bits of egalite and fraternite do you guys action then eh ? No nationasl health no equality of opportunity and the most unequal society in the world... not a great look is it.

@TexChik I dont think inheritance as a system is compatible with the principals of the French Revolution - liberte, fraternite and eglaite. Its OK to work hard and collect weaith for yourself but for people to confer that wealth onto their children and give them an unfari advantage in life is against the principals of the French revolution and not fair. It doesnt even achieve the right results in society because it means the allocaiton of jobs isnt fair. Another flag Ive always borne is that there is no such thing as postive descrimination. Like it or not all descrimination is bad. Not even JMHO - this is an outcome off logical thought. If yuou call that socialist, then I am guilty as charged, but there's a hole in the thinking of everyone else's worl view

@Captain Here people are free to make of their lives what they will. If you want a good life you have to work for it. Any state that believes all property belongs to them is a socialist tyrannical state. Another reason my ancestors sent the king packing

@TexChik Im not syaing what youve earnt doesnt belogn to you, I am saying it is against the principle of equality of opportiunity thatyou should be able to give your own kinds a helping hand. That may not be a popular view, but it would ensure the brightest and most able progressed th farthest and ended up doing the most impprtant jobs. On that I know we will disagree, but I am a logical big picture person and that is th elogical conclusion. So rant all you like.
