0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump |
0:07.8 | admitting his decision-making process, and a fun question first. Okay, so now that some time has |
0:15.0 | passed, information about why Trump decided to pause his tariffs is coming out, and the most |
0:20.7 | troublesome information is actually coming from Trump himself, |
0:24.5 | describing the process. |
0:26.6 | But first, a question about yesterday's video on why I thought Trump made the decisions he did. |

1:38.8 | Hassett, director of the U.S. National Economic Council, who tried to make it seem like the pause was all pre-planned, |
1:46.7 | but that the bond market made it go a little early. Or the decision to do it now was made with, |
1:53.6 | quote, perhaps a little more urgency. Then you have Trump, who when describing his thoughts, said, quote, |
2:02.3 | The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it. The bond market right now is beautiful. |
