Trump’s tariff reversal came after he watched an interview on Fox Business with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, during which the bank boss said that a recession was a “likely outcome” of the new trade policies, according to the Washington Post.

Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday when he decided to put a pause on the tariffs.

“I would say this morning. Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about it. Fairly early this morning,” he said.

      Yeah, that’s what I’ve read.

      Like the attention seeking narcissist he is, he tries to funny for attention. But because he’s a psychopath who doesn’t truly understand human behavior, he doesn’t understand what is “funny,” and he’s insufferable.

      I know some people like that.

        and because they are an insufferable asshole with no understanding of human emotions, often times their idea of funny is just being an asshole to others.

          Yep, these are the people who think cruelty is funny.
