Summary
Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday after a surge in bond yields, triggering sharp criticism—even from Fox News.
Fox Business’ Charlie Gasparino said the administration “capitulated” due to market pressure, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 4.5%.
Japan, not China, reportedly dumped U.S. bonds, worsening financial instability.
Despite no trade deals, Trump tried to claim a “win” and announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries—except China, which now faces tariffs up to 125%.
I… really don’t think that’s what happened.
It was brazen market manipulation.
That’s a real thing. That happened hours before orangeboi reversed the tariffs. This is a pump-and-dump using the entire fucking US economy.
Honestly, the lack of full scope context and complete failure of imagination from pretty much all of the fucking media is kinda crushing any fragment of hope I had that this was gonna be the beginning of the end for orangeboi.
I was wondering if that’s what he was doing. Is there a word for the reverse of a pump and dump? It seemed almost too obvious.
It doesn’t matter if it’s obvious. It’s an “official act”, and the Tribunal of Six has decided that if it’s an “official act”, whatever orangeboi says, goes.
Oh, he definitely won’t see any consequences. He just made rich people richer. The rich only see consequences when they take money from other rich people.
Shorting
Shorting is a legit thing though. There isn’t another phrase for a clearly illegal version?
Yeah. Insider trading.
except the opposite of that
