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 is the responsibility of the President of the United States to reassure the markets and Americans about their economic security in the face of nonstop media fearmongering,” wrote White House spokesman Kush Desai.
The administration states that it is going to take an action.
Media uncontroversially points out that if the administration does what has said it will do, it is going to create a problem.
The administration cancels the action.
The administration asserts that media has created a problem by pointing out said problem.
It’s just nonstop.
EDIT: Also, it doesn’t sound like Trump is saying “buy stock in general”, but “buy stock in my overpriced social media company (DJT)” which isn’t even going to be a particularly good example of a company especially impacted by tariffs.
