100% market manipulation for his billionaire friends.

[–] Waterpumpee@lemmus.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is the market even reacting to anything trump says anymore?

[–] BigJohnnyHines@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Of course it is. Who do you think the whales that control the market are?

Had to check. Yup. Tuesday.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

3 days? just in time for Friday? oh boy here comes some more market manipulation for his friends.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For 3 days? What legitimate reason would anyone have for pausing for 3 days?

Any important trades that need 3 days to process?

[–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago

Gives him and the other Epstein class insiders until Monday to cash in on the market manipulation.

That should be our answer, drop the tariffs or we bring this into action. Also, as Wab said "No CUSMA, no boozema".

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

I say do it, no threats.

Trump Always Chickens Out

Here's the post in question without having to directly go to truthsocial:

https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/41006

I have paused the 50% Tariffs against Canada, that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three day period, based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL! The great Keystone XL Pipeline, long ago killed by Sleepy Joe Biden, may be awoken from the grave! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

What an easy fake out, it's not going to even get started prior to him leaving office so we can just drag our feet and then toss it when he leaves.

Taco-flavoured keeeesiss

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh fun… this is about grifting the Keystone XL pipeline?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Keystone is back.

Cancelled by Obama

Revived by Trump

Cancelled by Biden

Revived again by Trump

It will get cancelled again in 2028.

Just keep their shitty dairy out please.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago

And if they do somehow manage to get it in, remember that it's effectively uninspected and don't buy it. No matter how cheap it is.

[–] ironpangolin29@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Keeping markets calm til Friday before they can run their buys and sells.

I wish Canada would just not even try to work with him and just let him do what he does.. work with other partners that actually want to do something and pour out resources into my eco friendly investments of power.

Oh whoop dee fucking doo.
