Just read this article and it is clear to me that Trump literally bent the knee. This retard is hilarious, he literally cucked admitting that this wasn't planned at all while the retards around him are trying to spin this off as a 4D chess move lmaooooo.

[Treasury Secretary Scott] Bessent disputed the suggestion that Trump standing down from his trade war, which erased trillions in value from global markets in less than a week, was a recognition of the turmoil he’d created.

But Trump later contradicted his Treasury secretary’s contention that the pause was long-planned, saying that he’d been closely watching the market volatility, especially as a sell-off in the bond markets ignited fresh fears about the economy’s stability.

“The bond market is tricky,” Trump said. “I saw last night, where people were getting a little queasy.”

He added that he’d watched JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon’s appearance on Fox Business Network earlier in the day, where Dimon told Maria Bartiromo a recession was a “likely outcome” if the trade war continued [...]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who warned Tuesday that a prolonged trade war would be “disastrous,” told reporters Wednesday just before the tariff move was announced that he had been talking with the White House and Trump directly, urging him to back off.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told the House Ways and Means Committee that he knew a pause on the tariffs was under discussion when he entered the hearing Wednesday morning, but that he only learned of the pause in real time.

Bessent, who asserted that Trump had “goaded” China into retaliating, did not say why Europe’s retaliation wasn’t similarly punished by the White House.

so let me get this straight it was either

A Bend the knee like a little faggot (for 90 days)

or

B its all over

is this what it comes down to in 2025?

with his tariff game he now united the whole world against chinas economy and china has already taken the knee and said they are open to negotionation and he brought in the highest market rally in over two decades if not the highest ever and before that happened he literally told everyone to buy.
He outplayed everyone and you are still too stupid to even understand what just happened while everyone in the world is now rushing to the negation table and the markets are rising.

They did everything they could to create a panic. They predicted a Black Monday that never came. They became jubilant over an intraday correction on Tuesday. They were rooting for Trump to fail even if it meant the market and economy crashed. Fortunately their hopes have been dashed. Trump has been vindicated. China is isolated, and the rest of the world is lining up to negotiate new trade deals. Do you think this would have happened if Trump had asked nicely? Maybe if he had said pretty please? Never. This was the only way to rewrite the rules of global trade.
Trump outplayed everyone and you still think he is stupid and you are smart that is how stupid you really are.

rig it, rug it, profit, repeat

Trump literally caved in first.

The Little cuck got scared of a little bond market heat. What a faaag

Art of the deal

Lol
Lmao even

miggerbros, our response?

Imagine as a liberal that attempt to simp for China like this when they were just discovered in Ukraine on russias side. Go fuck yourself bot

see

It literally doesn’t matter. Are you still going to simp for China when the war goes hot? I hope you do. I really really do, shill

China has nuclear weapons, no 2 country with nuclear weapons can wage war against each other. It will be a proxy shit but now the chief retard literally scared off all of our allies lmao.

People don't realize that any moment there's trillions "hedged" in the derivatives market. With sudden moves like this, hedge funds can go tits up. The problem is that mainstream banks are often their ultimate lenders so the people on the street would start to feel it. Think Archegos and Credit Suisse, for those who follow financial news. Now imagine hundreds of them because Trump's moves affected every single financial instrument. Meaning that if you were using e.g. stocks as collateral to long Treasuries, lol good luck. Or oil or gold or anything really. It became apparent earlier today that some moves were paradoxical: people were selling/buying not out of earnest expectations, but to avoid liquidation. As soon as they had burned through all of their money, it would have been over.

“Trump caved”

“No concessions achieved”

You are a low iq person.
Trump got the left and the media to 100% pin the stock market on his policies…

Right before he pumps the ever living hell out of it.

Oh my irony

He traded days of market volatility for years of advantages.

Here is a list of countries that lowered tariffs, proposed lowering tariffs, or offered concessions because of Trump’s tariffs or threat of them:

1. Mexico: Deployed 10,000 Mexican National Guard troops to its U.S. border to help with illegal immigration and fentanyl

2. Canada: Invested 1.3 billion in border security, 10,000 in border personnel and appointed a fentanyl czar

3. Argentina: Changing laws to meet 9 out of 16 tariff requirements, pursuing free trade deal.

4. Vietnam cut tariffs on LNG (5% to 2%), cars (45%-64% to 32%), ethanol (10% to 5%).

5. Taiwan offered to cut tariffs on U.S. goods and boost imports. TSMC (private corporation) - Announced over 100 billion dollars in US investment

6. Agreed to increase investments in the U.S. and prioritize purchases of American resources to mitigate tariff impacts.

7. India is considering slashing tariffs on $23 billion of U.S. goods: electronics (20% to 10%), gems/jewelry (5% to 2%), auto parts (15% to 7%)

8. Europe: Proposed a “zero-for-zero” tariff agreement to eliminate tariffs on industrial goods, aiming to de-escalate trade tensions with the U.S.

You don’t have to like the methods, but you cannot dispute the results.

Yes, yes, he totally bent the knee. See pic related for said knee bending.

Canada

Border security deal was made in December.

10000 border personnel is not new but currently active. That's the regular staffing.

Fentanyl czar. That's new.

Yeah anons are trying to spin it but it’s not a great look for Trump, on the other hand it’s still a better move than tanking the global economy so I think he made the right choice to call it off.

China imports to Vietnam and then imports to the US. Tariffs don't mean anything for them unironically.

1. and 2. are old news, they aren't related to the tariffs anyway, they are like 3 months old now.

Vietnam, Argentina etc. are poor countries that doesn't have the money to buy Tesla anyway, so what if they cut the tariffs on cars or other shit? I don't think you understand, they literally do not have the money to buy expensive American trash.

TSMC's 100 billion dollars investment to the US is old news, and they are trying to tap to the US Science and Chips act which allocated about 50+ billion to semiconductor companies to invest to the US. So they are investing in OUR country with OUR money lmao, they aren't using their own money anyway.

The EUs zero-to-zero tariff hurts the US more than the EU, why would they offer it otherwise? It if is so good why didn't the chief retard already accept it and be done with it instead of tariffing the EU? Instead EU already retaliated and announced 20 billion Euros worth of tariffs.

TLDR: Chief retard thought he was a genius, but the market slapped him so hard he fell over and begged to the market gods to not destroy him and announced he will postpone the tariffs. He literally said it himself:

“The bond market is tricky,” Trump said. “I saw last night, where people were getting a little queasy.”

He added that he’d watched JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon’s appearance on Fox Business Network earlier in the day, where Dimon told Maria Bartiromo a recession was a “likely outcome” if the trade war continued [...]

I think he tanked our economy and the world didn't tank as much, at least from what I was able to understand. I actually talked to my investment guy today and he said its very bad but not as bad as Great Recession, he literally told me "we are two thirds there." He still suggested me to hodl because my stocks etc. were very diversified etc.

Tanking the economy is still gonna happen he's just trying to soften the blow. Bonds will creep back up over time and he'll pull another lever.

China imports to Vietnam and then imports to the US. Tariffs don't mean anything for them unironically.

If they try to do that then Trump will just hit Vietnam again, he's been quite clear on this.

I love how leftist media is trying to convince everyone that Trump caved because of the bond market. The bond market “swings” were nothing burgers. Yields never went above 5% and Bessent himself said he’s watching for that. They are just preying on your illiteracy at this point.

Now Trump knows how it feels!!

He has to do this, because China is the only major manufacturer.

Uh huh. And they have real gold and that's fuel in their rockets not water and that's real steel not chinesium. The entire country is fake including their nukes. They don't have shit and everyone knows it.

The only reason bond yield went up is because of China and Japan selling for liquidity. It's all so silly.
Bessent even joked about offering a discount on bonds.

There’s nothing to spin. Bonds had stabilized this morning before he ever paused a thing. They never even came close to crossing 5%. The idea that the pause is because of bonds just doesn’t even make any sense. It’s actually fuckin ridiculous and almost insulting that anyone would try to convince me of this.

Are products that were imported during the hours the tariffs were live subject to the charges?

This is so stupid. Do you have any idea what them “selling for liquidity” would do their currencies and the prices of their exports? It doesn’t even make any goddamn sense. You people have no idea what you’re talking about.

You're overall correct but these are not the specifics of what happened. There's policy and there's the financial plumbing. Policy-wise, the US would get rekt in the medium and long-term from losing everyone. That's not why Trump backed down (otherwise he's never have started this). We were days away from a Lehman-style collapse. That would have obviously been terrible for the US government at this point so they backed down. Inadvertently they might also avoid the longer-term isolation, or postpone it.

Yes, because they have been doing it before, moron.

Thanks for your opinion, homosexual who thinks they are a woman

Canada and Mexico weren't apart of the "liberation day" tariffs. And this were neither affected by their application nor their pause.

It is still infinitely cheaper then manufacturing in the US though, so what if there is a 10-25% tariffs on goods from Vietnam and Mexico? If manufacturing the same product in the US costs 100%, the companies would still manufacture in other countries. Furthermore, this only directly effects the consumer, since we will have to pay MORE for the same product because of the tariffs. Sure the balance sheet of the country looks better, but this is at the cost of making the regular Joe poorer. It does not effect the companies (i.e. Apple / Tesla) since they just increase the product price, this does not effect the other countries since the tariffs are not as high to make it so that manufacturing moves from them to the US, this only marginally helps the US balance sheet, this is pretty shitty for the average American because now WE have to pay for it.

1. The DOGE was going to fix the balance sheet

It didn't work out, we are hearing about Elon bux or DOGE for a while now, what happened to it anway?

2. Tariffs were going to fix the balance sheet

It didn't work out, chief retard bent the knee, caved in to the possible stock market crash

3. Tariffs were going to move the production to the US

It didn't work out, now we aren't apparently moving the production back to the US since tariffs are on hold

So we are back to where we started. And we antagonized all of our Allies and trusted partners. How will anyone believe in Trump or the US anymore? This showed the world not only how retarded our current admin is but also how retarded average American is.
