It was laughable watching them try to spin it as 'this was Trump's plan all along.' Aye right, whatever. Reminded me of tv shows like The Thick of It and VEEP.

10% will apply across board for now.

Talking heads saying Democrats might ask for investigation into market manipulation.

Trump authorises 90 day pause on nonretaliating countries. Markets rally on this news.
