##Donald Trump at White House now: I put pause on tariffs because people were "jumping out of line, afraid", nothings over yet.

President Donald Trump said he put a 90-day pause on his global tariffs because people were 'getting yippie' about it.

Stock markets tanked after Trump started his trade war and the president admitted he had been watching.

'I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line. They were getting yippie, you know, getting a little bit yippie, a little bit afraid,' he said at the White House during an event honoring car racing champions.

Trump added: 'The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it. But if you look at it now, it's it's beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.'

And while there is a pause at the moment, there may be more to come.

Elon Musk reacted with a cryptic post of the internet meme Pepe the Frog holding a game console and launching a rocket.

So he's gonna pull the unpause button after a few days? What kind of 4d chess move is this? What are everyone's thoughts on this? How would you interpret it?
