So did Donald Trump blink yesterday? Was he terrified seeing the bond market implode? Was he manipulating the market? Was he just trying to do another distraction? Was it all of the above? Let's explore and let's not ignore some of the other disastrous things Donald Trump did yesterday, like signing executive orders, directing the Department of Justice to investigate the
Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, because he said that they believe that the election from 2020 was not stolen. And because he believes the election was stolen and they're outspoken against Donald Trump's election lies, they need to be criminally investigated. Let's be clear. We are all Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Donald Trump is just waiting for the time to go after all of us.
But let's explore first the financial and let's go into some of these other areas. So right yesterday, Donald Trump announces, voila, these big, beautiful tariffs that are going to make us all rich. He's pausing the tariffs on the entire world that he imposed. based on a fake formula. Other than China, he raised the tariffs against China to 125%, but the rest of the world will be tariffed at 10%.
But all of those other tariffs that were above that 10% based on that fake formula, those would be paused for a 90-day period. So here's the headline from the Wall Street Journal, why Trump blinked on tariffs just hours after they went into effect. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson helped persuade Donald Trump to take time to negotiate with trading partners in face of pressure from business leaders.
So Donald Trump gave press conferences yesterday where he said he was scared. Things weren't going as planned. The markets were getting spooked. And he was using words like that. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, Trump's propagandist Caroline Levitt said, this was all part of the art of the deal. This was all part of the plan.
So the plan was to lie to the people, lie to the markets, lie to corporations, lie to the world, crash the markets, wipe out $10 trillion from the markets, and then say that was the plan to begin with. And you think that you haven't lost all credibility? Well, you've already lost it pretty much months ago, and I think even before then, if anybody's ever been paying attention to this. But
Let's keep going. I want to talk about market manipulation soon. I'm going to do a whole video, by the way, on market manipulation this morning. I want you to watch that. I'm going to post that soon on the YouTube channel where I will break it down from a legal perspective what I would investigate the questions I would ask. Take a look at this headline from the New York Times.
from be cool to getting yippy inside Trump's reversal on tariffs. Economic turmoil, particularly a rapid rise in government bond yields, caused President Trump to reverse course on the steep levies. The real credit Mr. Trump's advisors admit privately.
should go to the bond markets trump's decision was driven by fear that his tariffs gamble could quickly turn into a financial crisis directly attributable to only one man as scott galloway explained so as a result what trump did is he pulled the knife halfway out of the economy's back But the injury, no longer a reliable trading partner, will take years to heal. Hashtag stupid.
