Trump’s tariff reversal came after he watched an interview on Fox Business with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, during which the bank boss said that a recession was a “likely outcome” of the new trade policies, according to the Washington Post.

Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday when he decided to put a pause on the tariffs.

“I would say this morning. Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about it. Fairly early this morning,” he said.

    Let’s cut the conspiracy theories about how they are doing this for graft, and the unfounded “4d chess” approaches.

    He is doing it for a grift, it’s pretty out in the open. You’re right about the 4d chess though. That’s his thing, think like a stupid mob boss that only does it for the grift. He thinks they owe him a favor now.

      I don’t think Trump is an idiot anymore. I think he’s playing a persona just like Borris Johnson. It’s a cover for him. It’s not his stupidity that’s harming us, it’s his self-centered, ego and greed driven maliciousness thats destroying our futures.

      He’s not a stupid person. He’s an evil person.
