The White House OBVIOUSLY leaked the rumour of tariff pause to test how markets would react, when there was a brief surge based on tweets (because apparently this is how shit works now) they had the green light to proceed with insider trading.
This is all unbelievably illegal.

Trump is making a nonsense of all the old beliefs in the power of corporations and the superrich. They don’t control him. No one controls him. And as a result, America looks more like a dictatorship than a democracy.

"the administration was making progress “that no one thought was possible” with Russia". True. Nobody thought they would just say that the aggressor should just have everything they wanted. And the US would basically surrender to Russia.
I think it is time to indict Steve Witkoff for aiding and abetting a war criminal. The US has clearly been taken in by the Russian Dictator who is playing them like others play a piano. The utter lawlessness is absolutely disgusting.
