Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.

Nothing to see here.

Hardly insider trading, saw it reposted on X earlier lol

I think it's clear insider trading. Trump was in possession of market sensitive news and communicated it to his friends.

A million years in Mordor at best.

Does he know what he is doing from one minute to the next? There's no plan here.

I don't care about the rights and wrongs - I want to see him in a dark dank cell. I want to see him in a dark dank cell with Putin for company. After that I don't care much.

Can anyone explain to me, looking at the markets, why all the European ones are in the red today, down about 3-4%, but the US ones are broadly breakeven.

No, they can't. Despite some feverish herding of opinion on here, unmatched since the gilded dawn of the SMO, nobody has a fucking clue what is happening or what comes next.

The bond markets tell a different, but equally incomprehensible story.

Markets now rate Greek 30 year bonds a safer investment than US 30 year bonds.

That's good news. There would be no greater joy in in the world than if Trump fell flat on his face. Well maybe if he took Netanyahu with him

Add Putin and Erdogan to that list and the world would be a much improved place.

They said on the media show that in the battle of the titans most of the world are rooting for China. If it hadn't been the media show I might wonder whether it was polled or just an educated guess. Though a good one. The world hates a bully.

Trump raises China tariff to 125% with immediate effect

He knows he’s winning.

Too many PBers won’t admit Trump is winning this, because they hate him. Don’t be one of them.

It’s crystal clear in front of us, Everyone, including UK, are being bullied into a Trump favourable deal, in order to protect their economies, interest payment levels, currencies, ability to sell goods at market price, and jobs. Let’s put JOBS. into capital letters. Every governments financial plans and budgets are screwed now.

The money from the Tarrifs, and from the trade deals everyone has been bullied into signing to lessen the tariff on them, will underwrite the new golden age for America.

He has used the underlying strength of the USA to screw everybody over, friends and foes. No one negotiates like Trump, except Peaky Blinders - or JR Ewing my Dad said, though had to explain.

PB are in denial of Trump winning this because of shear hatred of him. But even PB will have to surrender, and kiss Trumps ass too by admitting it.

Don't be silly!
