Donald Trump stunned markets Wednesday with another quick pivot on trade, announcing he would authorize a 90-day pause on his reciprocal tariff plans for all countries except China.
"They were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid," he said Wednesday, referring to the market unrest that unfolded following his "Liberation Day" tariff announcement a week ago.
Jimmy and guest host Aaron Maté discuss whether Trump is playing multi-dimensional chess with his tariff policy or is merely caving to concerns of the bond market.
Plus segments on Trump taking credit for the rebounding stock market after announcing a 90-day reprieve on most of the tariffs, leaked audio from AIPAC’s CEO boasting about the organization’s “access” to top Trump officials, Benjamin Netanyahu pushing the “Libya Solution” for Iran, and Trump and Pete Hegseth boasting about the United States’ first ever TRILLION-DOLLAR defense budget.
