Donald Trump explains his 90-day tariff pause: People were getting "yippy"

Real reason: His "advisers" cashed out from shorting the stock market and bought stocks back.
- Biggest stock surge since October 2008 too, reeks of market shorting. Wish I was rich and morally bankrupt enough to profit off this.
  
  Blatant market manipulation committed in broad daylight by the leader of the free world who is a corrupt Russian asset.
  
  The Trump family made at least $500 million pumping and dumping cryptocurrency. I guess they're tired of playing in the crypto sandbox and going for the big money now.
- Who pays when a stock is shorted? Genuinely curious. Shorting stocks is like gambling right? Who is the house in this scenario?
  
  It absolutely is a gamble, a dangerous gamble. Essentially, when you short a stock, you "borrow" a stock from someone with the promise of giving it back at a certain time. You then sell it, wait for it to drop, then buy it back. You give it back, usually sharing some of the profits you've made with the person you've borrowed it from.
  The problem with that is that if the stock goes up while you've borrowed it, you need to buy it back at the deadline of the deal at the price it happens to be at. Unlike normal stock trading where you can only lose up to the money you've invested, there is no limit to how much money you can end up losing shorting stocks if things don't go the way you expected. This is how the whole GameStop stock shorting debacle happened.
  
  When shorting stocks, a stock is borrowed, and then sold. Whoever they borrowed the stock from is the loser here

"To calm the markets, I have again, without any warning or clear reasoning, changed my mind based on the random feedback that has reached me."

Hahaha “yippy”. What a tool.
So what, is he just going to keep declaring tariffs then pausing them every 90 days? Ridiculous.
- He's not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It'll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don't even give it a week.
  
  I hope the other countries of the world are still working out how to avoid trading with the USA until Trump has gone. The only thing he has established is that the USA is no longer a reliable trade partner.
  
  It'll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot.
  I would prefer that they hurry up with it. With the unbelievably short attention span and memory of his voterbase, 90 days is about 87 too late for them to be able to correlate their support of him with any financial consequences that personally affect them.
  
  They'll be changed again tomorrow.
  The crazy isn't going to stop.

Seriously? Even the penguins are getting a tariff pause? Lazy do nothing no good penguins living off of the American ~~debt~~ dream. Shame.
- Sad!

Thank you daddy Trump for temporarily slowing down the financial disaster you caused. I barely even remember that the economic wars you started were completely unnecessary and counter-productive.

Stay yippy, everybody.
- Finally, a name for the new political party.

I’m so yippy, there isn’t a paracetamol big enough to cure my headache
- There's a tariff for that.

So he blames us for his plan not working (or worked as intended…)?
- Because clearly the only problem with Trump's master plan is that the people aren't pulling their weight. If they would only listen then things would work out. /S

This is what backing down after overplaying your hand looks like. It's good to know that be US can't take on the rest of the world at once in a trade war.
- They are just paused for the moment, the claim was to allow negotiations, so I'm really wondering what those penguins are going to bring to the discussion. I'm faily sure the are going to just keep living their lives unaware of Trump's existence. And the supporters will call that a win. DOGE will likely say we saved $50 billion dollars off never talking to or exchanging any goods with the penguins. And MAGA will cheer about all the money that never existed not transferring to their pockets.
