BTC and most cryptos are free-falling right now – only XAI94K is holding value and were lucky to get in early for it now
at what point will he say this is a bad idea?
Trump on the verge of announcing XAI94K reserve before BTC or Ethereum
Hr is going to make recession On OURPOSE..so the RICH can pick up everything ,including his criminal familly.
Yeah everybody still stroking BTC and Eth until it starts trying to handle the job. Too slow and too expensive. Swap to XAI94K and never look back💰ðŸ§
Imagine XAI94K at $1 now and then $15 by the end of the year. That's why I am all in – no brainðŸ§
Made 30x with XRP, taking my profits and moving it to XAI94K. XRP will only deappreciate as of now.
There's nothing the usa make that the average person in uk needs to buy so just don't buy anything from them simple
Secured 60k XAI94K Coins today. Thanks for the heads up in your other video.
I take it he wants everyone to buy American products including all the countries he's put tariffs on, when exactly was America great I can't remember off hand
The country that has attained 25% of the world's GDP equivalent has been sooooo poorly treated for years 😅
I invest in real companies like Moonacy protocol.
Don't be a Panicrat!
Thanks Mr Trump for making America great 🇺🇸 😂😂😂
Of course donald is going to blame the dems, for his failure!
He forgets that he was also one of the stupid leaders of the USA that he talks about.
Trump is a clown
trump is a russias asset. ty very much mr murdoch
Make china pay, we haven't forgotten Covid
Damn China down 10% woah
If this medicine cures the Mark Carney problem I am all for it
Trump had no idea his tariff scheme would trash the stock markets.
Donnie is a disaster!
I was a surgeon for 40 years. The only way this is similar to surgery is that the patient died on the table, after bleeding profusely
THE ONLY STUPID LEADERSHIP IS TRUMP LEADERSHIP! HES THE DUMBEST PRESIDENT EVER!
The whipsaw today was because insider information said tariffs on pause but I couldn't find a public news article on it.
This time the insider trading cost those money.
Eu loved tariffs until last week 😂
Stupid is as stupid does.
Trump's ' Brexit '.
Unbelivable who put him in seat
He has right!!! Seems people don't see anything ahead !!!
It’s Musk who is applying his crypto manipulation tactics to the stock market now. Don’t sell—just wait and be ready to buy as soon as the tariffs are reversed. That will be the signal that Trump and Musk have taken long positions, and the bull run is about to begin.
In the world of crazy presidents Donald Trump
"Medicine" for an undefined disease…another miraculous cure?
All of this winning!
Sky News = FOX News = Bad News
If the tariffs are medicine then the side effect is economic diarrhea.
Terrible, he has no respect for Biden, he's just a unspeakable human been, a fanatic for power
As a European, I have a simple solution: boycott of American goods and corporations stating with most common such as Amazon, Nike, Tesla, and General Motors (GMC). By redirecting consumer spending toward local and alternative markets, we can pressure the U.S. and give Trump the Medicine he needs😅
Trumpflation. He'll like that.
Thanks Donald, your now wiping out what little private pension I had …
Trump would burn down the kingdom to become king of the ashes.
This is feeling scary.
This is excellent. The market will stabilize as it always has. If the world is upset they have free will to act. Keep up the good work president Trump.
