President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that it was "a great time to buy.” Less than four hours after his post, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs.

    It’s almost like the whole thing is a con, designed to siphon all money from the rest of us into the bank accounts of the 1%.

      The best part is that when they manage to fuck up on an industrial scale and crash their insider trading money printer, the taxpayers end up bailing them out.

      The whole world suffers, and they use the people’s money to buy the dip and profit even more when the fixed game comes back online shortly.

      Twice. Spit roasted.

      Tariffs feed paycheque to paycheque money from the 99% to the government, which is openly funneling it to the 1%.

      Meanwhile they’re manipulating the market on a global scale with the backing of the 0.01% and the wealth of the 99.99% as hostage, allowing them to effectively transfer the savings of the 99% to the 1%.

      And it’s just being allowed. These are the fucking bad guys in the movie building a spaceship ark for the elite instead of stopping the SharkWeekCano from destroying the galaxy and I guess everyone missed the messages in the movies to put it mildly.

      Reagan only said “trickle down economics “ because pee jokes offend.

      Edit: oh shit, I forgot that they’re also taking everyone’s public services with some kinda double-dong by gutting the IRS and firing the civil service. Also moving money upwards to those the IRS can’t even fight for the meager tax the elite won’t pay while taxes will rise at a local level for those that don’t want their towns to burn down or have schools. I guess it keeps the spit stable.

      Hey I’m sorta new to lemmy. How are you posting gifs/images? It won’t let me do any such thing.

        I’m not the savviest, but I think it’s kinda like turning a description into a url —> [description into a url](https://example.com/)

        I think you just need an exclamation(!) in front of the brackets[] and no description needed between brackets

        ![](https://gif.something/)

        Now if someone could explain to me what the exclamation(!) does, or why it’s needed, I would appreciate it

            Huh, this is what I see

            But when I click on the small “obj” box, I can see this image

            Both of those embedded images, I saved to my phone and inserted using the Boost app. I wonder if I copy and embed your posted-image-link manually, will you also see just a “clickable ‘obj’ box”? Let’s see…

            Maybe it has something to do with the app loading it to an instance’s “pictrs” first? That’s way above my knowledge though

            Edit: I see someone already helped you get it sorted out! Yay, we all learned something today

        In iOS on my instance sh.itjust.works in the Voyager app, I can hold my finger down on a gif, then I can either copy it and paste it into my comment, or I can add it to the photos app which then makes it available down the road anytime I want because they are all organized into the ‘animated’ category in photos. On MacOS in safari I actually have to right click the gif and save the file to the folder. At this point wherever I am if I am in voyager I then click the ‘picture’ button in the voyager comment toolbar and either browse for my animated photo or browse my folders for the GIF file.
