There's already talk about the tariffs being curtailed tomorrow. Which got the stock market all hopeful at end of day.

Which I'm sure if this happens, will be accompanied by some bullshit claims of some concessions he supposedly obtained.

And a lot of people in-the-know who made easy coin on the stock market today.

And his followers will eat it up. Last month there was all sorts of blather on social media about how "Trudeau caved" because "Trump strong" etc. despite Canada simply re-iterating the same position it had had since December.

It's hard to overstate how pissed off Canadians are about Trump's threats to annex Canada through economic bullying. People I know who have never boycotted anything are now boycotting US goods and services. There will be long-term consequences even if it's walked back tomorrow.

Yeah I am generally not a nationalist by conviction or intellect but this stuff has me tearing up to the national anthem and putting stuff back on the shelf at the grocery store.

Classic Elon Musk securities fraud to publicly declare things, whether true or false, which move the market.
