Summary

Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday after a surge in bond yields, triggering sharp criticism—even from Fox News.

Fox Business’ Charlie Gasparino said the administration “capitulated” due to market pressure, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 4.5%.

Japan, not China, reportedly dumped U.S. bonds, worsening financial instability.

Despite no trade deals, Trump tried to claim a “win” and announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries—except China, which now faces tariffs up to 125%.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s obvious. It’s an “official act”, and the Tribunal of Six has decided that if it’s an “official act”, whatever orangeboi says, goes.

      Oh, he definitely won’t see any consequences. He just made rich people richer. The rich only see consequences when they take money from other rich people.
