Establishment Shill Charlie Gasbag tells everyone what Wall St. is doing to Trump & Musk

He is actually bragging about it. If you had any questions about what was going on with Bessent and his Wall Street buddies...they are selling off the Markets when they don't get their way
"Today is a good day caving: Trump APPEARS to be caving on trade and firing Powell and futures are up. Musk says he’s caving on staying with DOGE. He’s heading back to @Tesla and despite a lousy quarter, stock is moving higher after cratering for most of the year. Markets tend to do that. They force you to CAVE. I say Make Caving Great Again! Maybe this time neither will change their minds and accept caving as a way of life!"

Charlie Gasbag has always been a never trumper and notice how he was praising Bessent in this video from a few weeks ago. It is clear now that Bessent and Wall Street are trying to force Trump to play nice with China and not do what's best for America's long term interests. Keep doing the same thing that got us in the situation with China because Wall Street can't lose any money in the short term.

That's unequivocally false. Tesla dropped with the market, but it is still higher than a year ago.
If he's talking about the 4 months since Jan 1, then using "most of the year" is intentionally misleading. Tesla stock shot up immensely right before the timeframe the OP chose which makes it appear worse than it is. Tesla's current price is in line with its price trajectory from a few months ago.
Musk was always a temporary employee of DOGE.
This guy sounds like a buffoon.

I'm not sating Trump might not adjust his plan allowing for certain concerns or developments but I don't think he will "cave". In fact, I don't think we've seen the real fireworks yet.

Charles can go eat a bag of dicks. He has been making a fool of himself on Fox Biz and Faux News.
TDS is a hell of a drug!

1) Trump explains that tariffs on China won't stay at 145% because he expects a deal - not saying he is unilaterally backing off
2) Bessent says trade war between US and China will de-escalate because unsustainable - factual statement based on expectation a deal will happen
3) Not gonna fire Powell (he out soon anyway-why buy the legal headache)
But...muh fold

He got in the ring with the Markets, the Markets said welcome to the party.....we'll give you the first punch. Trump threw, the markets counter punched.....Trump' corner of Bessent and Lutnick then advocated playing keep away .

Until Trump announces lower tariffs, he hasn’t caved on anything. He was clear that the 245% is a short term negotiating tactic. He was also clear that the tariffs wouldn’t be zero even with a deal made

You're right. Short term thinking's what got us here to begin with. Wall St pushed easy money with every economic hiccup for decades and the media parrotted that message non-stop to the public, and the federal reserve played along. They sold the lie that a rising stock market means the US economy is healthy and anything that prevents a rising stock market is bad for the ecnonomy. Eventually it applied to the bond market too. And the housing market.
We pushed easy money, and then free money, until it made the dollar vulnerable and now foreign governments are in control of US policy. All Trump has to do is listen to the braying masses, market cheerleaders like Gasparino, and relent. Soon the Fed will give us our much needed dose of monetary heroin.

If someone asked you how you’re doing this year, they are asking about the calendar year, not the last 365 days. Come on.

Ahh, naked shorting, the laypersons boogeyman. Explain to me how you could naked short the market and get away with it without having to close those shorts? You don’t seem to understand how any of this works.

Well if this loser is sayibg he caved 6 times then we know for sure the opposite is happening
