    Oh, what the fuck ever. Must be coming up on a weekend. Better shit on the economy and then walk it back like a bitch on Monday. Why do people even report on Trump’s threats? They’re just the latest exhibit in the “Hey! The Rich Keep Getting Richer!” Museum.

      I feel like they need to do a lot more investigative journalism around this. Did his companies or those of his pals buy a heap of shares/futures/shorts that are likely to be affected by this prior to the announcement? Did they then sell those following the announcementor at least prior to when he walks it back? Is there a pattern of those trades around all his other announcements by the same group of players? Thats the news I want to hear.

        I agree. I do recall that Trump posted a message on Truth that ‘it was a great time to buy’ before announcing a tariff roll back the following day (maybe the day after). So, I agree with you and would also like to see actual investigative journalism around this.
