Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.

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.

Ah yes, stock markets had almost recovered back to what they were when he tookoffice, so time to dump them again.
At what point do investors kind of shrug and stop believing his stated plans? He has waffled back and forth on this thing so much
The only investors who matter are the ones who are in his inner circle, and are insider trading. The last wave of tariffs was blatant market manipulation, and this next round will be more of the same. He publicly waffles back and forth, then only tells his buddies what and when the real impacts will be. So then his buddies can sell or short before dips, and buy back right before things start to recover.
He clearly means in the context of the market just not dumping the next time he announced a tariff because they do believing him.
You're talking about... Something else
My point was that his public flip-flopping is intentional, to provide plausible deniability. He can constantly flip-flop back and forth, while occasionally dropping real hints. But because they’re buried, nobody believes the hints. Then when it actually happens and the market tanks, he points to the buried hints and goes “but it was public info! It’s not market manipulation because I announced it!”
I was very close to just unloading everything except index funds if it had gotten maybe 10% higher. Oh well.
Buy the trump dump dip?
