What's scary is...
If he can play like this... Imagine if after 90 days, he do this same tactic again, "Do not retaliate". Then many countries really guai guai never retaliate, then tariffs go into effect and countries still guai guai wait thinking Trump will do what he did today. Then few months later, nothing - countries suffered for few months le. Trump will say "This is art of the deal, bro! Thanks for helping my economy!"
The trust really not there le... Too crafty like Cao Cao.
Or worse yet, next time he tweet something cryptic... Investors and speculators chiong, but later he troll and said he never said it like what happened during the fake 90-day pause last Monday, then market U-turn while him and his goons huat.
