    Really? Because it seems to me like literally every other “Start-stop-start-stop” shit he’s been pushing for the past three months, which he has learned absolutely nothing from.

    The desperation of some people to believe that there is some greater plan here, even if an evil plan, is astounding.

    People are often stupid. We elected one of the stupidest. And his stupid followers are cheering on his every move. The only thing Trump reacts to, like most idiotic cult leaders, is more or less adulation. Expect more stupidity, starting and stopping at random or at the expectation of a negative response from his professional fluffers, going forward.

    The only ‘deeper than it appears’ aspect of this is possible market manipulation.
