A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

wow, a fascist cunt biting more than he could chew? gotta be the first time.
pussy.
And then after 90 days what happens? Because if today you order stuff from another continent to be shipped by ocean, there's a chance it will arrive after that date. Especially if everyone has the same idea of frontloading their warehouses before he changes idea again
He isn't going to wait 90days , he's too impatient, he will resume the tariffs as soon as he feels like it.
Yep, and then pause them claiming, like he did this time, that somehow magically every nation in the world managed to negotiate with him to his satisfaction within a couple of days....
Or claim that no one but China threatened retaliatory tariffs (and of course a lot of them did) and that's why he gave them a reprieve to reward them for not retaliating.
Or to claim that China is a bad actor because they imposed punitive tariffs and that's only something that bad actors do...
There must be a universe where Trump became a train conductor. I wonder what that ride would be like and would it have equal amount of casualties.
Don't you mean in a nursing home, his daughters son and Melania realize he's more than they can handle, when he had thoughts of running for presidency, they stuck him a. Nursing home before he could try.
He would be in amtrack
Wtf is going on
HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA
They are literally pumping and dumping the stock market as a whole. It's market manipulation by tariff as they make bank on peoples fear.
announce tariffs > market uncertainty > sell off stocks > value goes down > buy the dip > pause tariffs > markets recover > laugh all the way to the bank
or something like that
At this point, I am convinced it's a pump and dump scheme, still ongoing, too. It only takes a few people in the know of when and where the news break about the tariff supsension, to seriously make a killing on the market, on the backs of others. Trumpists can now also (for a while) feel like their God has saved them again and never steered them wrong, or curse their momemts of doubt, when they did not buy yesterday, as their prophet called for.
It is a mixture of incompetence, impulsivity, but I am certain at this point, a huge chunk of it is outright corruption and cult tactics.
2+ million shares of SPY were traded in 3-4 minutes an hour before it broke. Had been pretty much flat since opening for the day. It's fucking blatant.
I honestly believe it is intentional as well. The 90 pause that went around social media the other day wasn't a mistake it was a leak.
They'd be stupid to not be financially gaining from their intentional manipulation. We hired an entire administration of grifters, what else should we expect?
Wtf is going on
A psychopathic criminal regime has taken over the US.
They're openly doing insider trading
This just proves that US tariff policies are unstable.
Why would any company move production to US based on tariff then? Imagine spending money to move a factory from China to America, and the next month tariffs flip flop and your competitor laughs at you all the way to the back counting earnings from their Chinese imports.
Trump is fighting against himself, and he is losing.
This is blatant market manipulation, he and his cohort are laughing their asses off getting richer than ever
This is so stupid. He announce tariffs, markets tank. He pauses, markets rebound. He then imposes tariffs, markets tank. He pauses.... oh he's jerking off everyone. got it.
I'll give you one guess when he and his cronies are buying and selling stocks.
I'm beginning to think Wall Street and this stock market thing might involve scamming and fraudulent activity... Maybe crypto too...
Pure fucking market manipulation.
At this point I kind of hope China goes nuclear and implements a complete import and export ban with the United States. China has the social infrastructure inplace and debt head room to borrow their way out of any kind of financial crisis. The United States does not.
So if the other day was liberation day, then today is…?
Capitulation Day
Decapitation Day.
So he's giving the other countries a 90 day reprieve to seek other trading partners? Ones that aren't dictated by a toddler who thinks random mood swings are the basis of a sensible foreign trade policy? Smart move, trump.
seems like he learned his negotiation skills from the scene in Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff points a gun to his own head. "Do what he says! Do what he says!"
Trump's tariff policy is like the Windows file copy dialogue.
Personally I'm siding with China he's going to hit the rest of us again in 3 months again. This is blatant stock manipulation in my opinion and he should be jailed for both that and treason.
China can respond by immediately n stop all shipments
Remember when flip-flopping was bad for a politician?
No, but this is the art of the deal™
(/s in case any dumbass is reading this. There is no art and he made no deal, except the deal with his criminal friend to do insider trading)
Flip-flopping in and of itself isn't bad.
What it is - is a symptom.
A symptom of being an absolute dumbass. Now that is what's bad.
