enriching his supporters w/insider trading opportunities is the same kind of mafia style "repayment"
perhaps trump’s donors were so loud in his ear complaining about all the money they just lost that trump decided to shut them up w/an opportunity to profit on history's largest (not an exaggeration!) insider trading opportunity.
or consider a scenario where #TeslaTakedown has put #ElonMusk financially on the ropes and badly in need of cash. does trump strike you as someone who wouldn't help a fellow grifter out if doing so only cost him some well timed tweets & market chaos?

trump can easily (and IMHO just did) use this power to xfer massive amounts of retail suckers' money into the hands of Trump donors/friends/insiders etc. w/just a few steps.
[11am] privately inform donors you'll be announcing the cancellation of tariffs at 3pm
[11:01am] donors buy stonks
[2pm] tweet "GREAT TIME TO BUY", transforming donor trades from "insider trading crimes" to "trades based on public information"
[2:01pm] retail MAGA apes & other trump team members (republican congress, officials, etc) "buy the dip"
[3pm] suspend tariffs
[3:01pm] whole world apes in, mkt goes 🚀🌖, insiders' profit massively from their trades.

1. the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 10th largest single day Nasdaq gains came during the dotcom crash.
2. the 3rd and 5th largest single day gains came in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis.
3. the 6th and 8th (tied) largest gains came during the covid panic in 2020
In other words all 10 of the highest gaining days in Nasdaq history, with the possible exception of today which is still TBD, came during major long term market crashes.
Massive market moves like this are in no way a sign that markets are healthy and performing their societal function. In fact quite the opposite - massive moves up are historically almost always a symptom of the disease of speculative mania refusing to accept reality (“buy the dip!!!!”).

Americans die earlier at all wealth levels, even if wealth buys more years of life in the US than in Europe
New research shows that Americans’ personal wealth is not enough to compensate for factors that affect how long people live, such as health behaviors, education or social support.The Conversation

Almost everything Mr Trump said this week—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded. His reading of history is upside down. He has long glorified the high-tariff, low-income-tax era of the late-19th century. In fact, the best scholarship shows that tariffs impeded the economy back then. He has now added the bizarre claim that lifting tariffs caused the Depression of the 1930s and that the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were too late to rescue the situation. The reality is that tariffs made the Depression much worse, just as they will harm all economies today. It was the painstaking rounds of trade talks in the subsequent 80 years that lowered tariffs and helped increase prosperity.
On economics Mr Trump’s assertions are flat-out nonsense. The president says tariffs are needed to close America’s trade deficit, which he sees as a transfer of wealth to foreigners. Yet as any of the president’s economists could have told him, this overall deficit arises because Americans choose to save less than their country invests—and, crucially, this long-running reality has not stopped its economy from outpacing the rest of the G7 for over three decades. There is no reason why his extra tariffs should eliminate the deficit. Insisting on balanced trade with every trading partner individually is bonkers—like suggesting that Texas would be richer if it insisted on balanced trade with each of the other 49 states, or asking a company to ensure that each of its suppliers is also a customer."

Tariffs are taxes, on Americans, companies and individuals like you and me, whenever they buy something imported.
Look at your food, your clothes, your electronics, even your house: a huge portion is imports or made from imported materials. Plus the gasoline used to get it all to us.

As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

To some analysts current data doesn't suggest an inflationary pressure as a result of the #Trump #tariffs but, given the sorry state of the #US #economy right now, rather a #MarginSqueeze with (more) #layoffs & mass #bankruptcy as a result.
That of course would not be helpful at all, meaning a jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Others even foresee a #stagflation, combining the worst of two worlds.

Here's a different & potentially overlooked aspect of it - personal enrichment.
Trump wants to "#BuyTheDip" and for that he's willing to hurt the american people like hell.
#Musk task on the other hand is to make sure, that the populace (and especially the armed right wing insurgency) hates everything "woke" more than being plundered by #billionaires.
