This is why I don't trust any crypto currency..
A virtual asset that is not physical and don't exist, and goes up and down like a crazy roller coaster, depending of any stupidity done or said by any celebrity clown on duty..
No thanks..

oooh please.His own coin. He's probably pumped that and dumped it. and left it to the idiots to hold the digital 1s and 0s.

Agreed Nibek32. He doesn't understand tariffs as well as some other basic economic concepts. He tried to bully Canada into becoming the 51st state. That's what he wants and has repeatedly said it. He's acting on his own ridiculous imperialistic fantasies which are making US look bad. I think he saw his popularity/stocks falling and realized (or probably advised) he was making a huge mistake and then looked for a way out. Canada gave away nothing. They'd already announced those border measures back in December. The Mexican president was trying hard not to laugh when she told reporters Trump asked her how long she would like the tariffs paused for. And when interviewed on Fox news today he said "Who the hell made these (trade) deals? They're so bad!". And who made those deals? Yes - It was Trump in 2018. Hilarious. I think I'm going to enjoy the next 4 years.

Another trump failure. Trump doesn’t understand how things work. That’s what happens when you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth and your daddy gives you all of your money.

I'm starting to think one reason he paused tariffs was because stocks (and Bitcoin) fell and a poll showed tariffs were mostly unpopular with the US public. He didn't exactly promise pain. His unpredictability will will unsettle markets and raise interest rates (risk premium). I'm also starting to think he wants to pressure Canada and especially Mexico into imposing tariffs on China for retailiating against US tariffs.

Another great job from the "stable genius".

A reference for Brits of a certain generation:
"Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be blaming....(DEI . woke libs, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Biden, Harris....)"
