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.

Why do you consider this hilarious or funny in any way?

@RedBaron Because he's so blatant about it. Its unreal, Its like the real life incarnation of "Whoops Apocalypse" - which was hilarious !! (BBC TV show)

@Captain I fail to see humor in anything he’s doing. This is real and not some TV show.

@RedBaron Yes well that's because we brits have been so used to shit all our lives that we have perfected trench humour - and I laugh at my own predictament al the time because I'm not going to cry about it. So I could say welcome to my world. Just look at it objectively and this is hilarious. I promise you it absurd.

@Captain Good discussion: pedantic point - Whoops Apocalypse was LWT, not BBC, in the days when ITV was not afraid to upset some of its audience.

@FreddieUK Was it, memory must be going. It was so funny though wasnt it ?

@CaptainIt was very funny, I seem to recall. I sometimes remember the most random (using the word correctly) things but can't remember where my keys are. 😄

@FreddieUK I know the feeling. I love the scene with the lie detector - I think that was my favourite.
