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.

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

100% market manipulation for his billionaire friends.

Is the market even reacting to anything trump says anymore?

[–] BigJohnnyHines@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day 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 1 day 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 day ago

I say do it, no threats.

Just keep their shitty dairy out please.

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.

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

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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.

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

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

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

Keystone is back.

Cancelled by Obama

Revived by Trump

Cancelled by Biden

Revived again by Trump

It will get cancelled again in 2028.

[–] ironpangolin29@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago
