And here we go again…

#Trump AGAIN manipulates the #market thus time by pausing the #Mexico #tariffs for a month.

Also he continues to conduct #ForeignPolicy affairs on social media.

For crying out loud, like a drunk toddler & for seemingly no reason at all, #Trump has now reversed his #tariffs on #Canada.
Trump said Thurs that he would allow BOTH #Mexico & Canada to avoid tariffs on most exports to the #US for 1 month, specifically products subject to the #USMCA, the #trade pact he signed in his first term.
The move came less than a day after he granted a 30-day reprieve to #automakers, & hours after announcing a pause on Mexico’s tariffs.
#economy #instability #geopolitics

Now he has rolled #Canada into the #Mexico pause without any explanation as to why. He paused the Mexico #tariffs after speaking to Mexico President #ClaudiaSheinbaum. Utter #chaos.

#Trump has played an inexplicable game of brinkmanship w/the North American #economy this week, as he levied stiff tariffs on Canada & Mexico, then suddenly rolling some back.

#Trump’s maneuverings have sent #stock #markets tumbling & sowed anxiety & confusion among industries that depend on trade w/ #Canada & #Mexico, which account for >¼ of #US imports & nearly ⅓ of US exports.

Trump signed #ExecutiveOrders authorizing the pause on the tariffs.

They say what the markets hate most of all is uncertainty. More than bad news, even.

And there is now an absolute idiot with a massive ego, a persecution complex, and zero impulse control behind the wheel of the USA's economy, and he's being "assisted" by a chaos monkey doing everything he can to screw up the domestic economy.

"Strap in, it's going to be a wild ride", etc, etc.
