  • People calling this plain ole market manipulation are missing the forrest for the trees. The bond market tells the tale, there was a concerted effort to bleed US bonds and drive the price down, which is why Trump blinked. None of his tax plans can come to fruition if no one will buy US debt, they were just too stupid and shortsighted to see this coming, hence the reversal.

    Next time I’m not sure we will get so lucky. For the next “90 days”, Peter Navarro and morons like him will be downplaying the selloff to Trump, which will embolden him to ride it out no matter what happens.

    I mean it’s very clear the issue here is Vladdy just proposed they stop attacking energy infrastructure yesterday. The things Ukraine did were actually prior to yesterday, and therefore no agreement existed at the time, hence the outrage.

    Cease fires don’t usually include a “but I get to bop you one more time before we honor our agreement” clause.
