So much cope after Trump showed himself to be weak, scared, and a PANICAN, a term he coined himself for anyone wilting on his beautiful tariffs.

    Well, yeah. It’s called “market manipulation”, and it’s usually considered illegal.

      “Usually” but not this time. If you did this you’d be jailed instantly. If Trump does it, he’s the most beautiful businessman the world has ever seen. This is just fucked.

        If I tried to implement tariffs I don’t think anyone is going to do it. Then again, I have tried. Be right back.

        Uhh… If they only celebrated when they accomplished something (even their own shit goals that hurt themselves and their countrymen) they would never get a chance. Strike while the iron is hot. Before you realise you set your own house on fire and should probably stop fucking around inside and get out.

    So if Trump had put a gun to someone’s head, pulled back the hammer, then said, “Nah…”, you would expect that person to step up to a microphone and tearfully declare that “I’m alive today thanks to President Trump”…?

    So I guess you will not get $6T from tariffs? That’s a shame.

    The funniest things is that suddenly I see Fox and other idiots criticizing rich people for moving all production to China. Weren’t the “job creators” just the best and smartest? Turns out the left was right all along? They also complain about hiding environmental impact of production by moving it to Asia. Wait, didn’t you just gut EPA? I though environment was for libtards. Republicans are suddenly more socialist and green than democrats :)

    Dude shit his pants. People were like “stop shitting your pants, you moron”. Dude wiped some of the shit out of his pants using his hand. Now his pants still smell like shit and he has shit all over his hands.

    Fox News is like "great job not shitting your pants, Mr. President, you goddamn genius!”

    They’re right though. This was the plan. Hard to do market manipulation without manipulating the market.
