I have noted several developments and reactions around tariffs and trade policy, while the captures leave important outcomes and supporting details unknown.
On February 5, 2025, I posted “Huge News On China Tariffs” and shared https://t.co/9hzhOkT9UD. The captured post does not identify the news or include the linked page’s contents.
On April 2, 2025, I wrote, “Today will be interesting.” I was quoting @typesfast’s schedule for President Trump’s planned April 2 events, not reporting that they occurred. The schedule listed a 9:00 AM ET trade-council meeting to finalize the tariff initiative, an 11:30 AM ET preview by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, a 4:00 PM ET Rose Garden Address for the reciprocal-tariff announcement, and a 4:30 PM ET media engagement. The quoted text ends mid-sentence after “followed by an…”; it does not give the announcement’s details or confirm any outcome.
On May 15, 2025, I wrote, “Things are happening fast!” while quoting @nationalpost, which said Canada had “effectively suspended almost all of its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.” That was @nationalpost’s claim, not my own report; the post did not specify which tariffs were suspended, when the suspension took effect, or what source supported the claim. This tariff development relates to businesses coping with tariff costs and tariff shakeout rewards lean brands.
On July 27, 2025, I called it “Good news.” while quoting @WatcherGuru’s post that the United States and China had agreed to extend the tariff pause by another 90 days. The extension was @WatcherGuru’s claim; my reaction did not verify it. The post did not specify when the extension would take effect or which tariffs it covered. The tariff pause relates to businesses coping with tariff costs and ecommerce shifts to new markets.
On October 26, 2025, I wrote, “Boom season incoming” while quoting @WatcherGuru’s claim that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said China was ready to make a trade deal that would remove President Trump’s 100% tariff. That claim belonged to @WatcherGuru’s quoted post; my comment did not establish that a deal was reached or explain what I expected to happen.
On October 30, 2025, I wrote “Lfg” while quoting @unusual_whales, whose post claimed that the United States and China declared a 1-year trade truce after Trump-Xi talks, citing YF. That was the quoted post’s claim, not something I independently verified; the capture gave no further details.
On April 4, 2025, I shared @BillAckman’s post asking, “Please explain what is wrong with Warren’s analysis.” I reacted, “This was long but wow there is some gold in here.” The capture does not preserve the analysis or answer the question.
On April 6, 2025, I wrote, “A good reminder: as fast as the tariffs were instated, they can be removed.” I added, “We can’t predict the future” and “let’s hope for quick resolutions.” The post I quoted was by @WatcherGuru, who claimed Taiwan offered zero tariffs and pledged to increase investments in the US to avoid President Trump’s tariffs. That was @WatcherGuru’s claim; my post did not report whether tariffs were removed or a resolution was reached.
On April 8, 2025 at 00:53 UTC, I reacted “Huge if true” to @WatcherGuru’s report that the European Union was ready to discuss zero-for-zero tariffs with the US. This was a reported willingness to discuss, not confirmation that tariffs were agreed or implemented; my reaction left open whether the report was accurate or talks would lead to an agreement.
On April 23, 2025 at 18:09 UTC, I reacted to @WatcherGuru’s post saying China was open to resuming trade talks with the United States: “We might be so back and just in time for summer.” The post gave no further details about whether talks would resume.
On May 7, 2025 at 02:40 UTC, I wrote, “We’re so back,” while quoting @ChineseEmbinUS’s announcement that China had decided to engage with the US. The announcement cited global expectations, China’s interests, and appeals from the US business community and consumers. It said Vice Premier He Lifeng would hold talks with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during He’s visit to Switzerland from May 9 to 12. The post did not give the talks’ agenda or eventual outcome.
On May 11, 2025 at 18:09 UTC, I reacted hopefully to @WhiteHouse’s announcement of a US–China trade deal in Geneva, writing, “Ohhh baby it’s looking good.” and adding 🤞. The announcement’s terms and whether the deal was finalized are not specified in the captured post.
On November 2, 2025 at 18:38 UTC, I wrote, “I hope we’ve seen the worst of the China and USA trade war.” I added, “If you make it through this, you can make it through anything,” and shared https://t.co/2EyzqGJXF6. I did not specify what “this” meant, and the captured post does not describe the linked content.
On November 9, 2025 at 16:32 UTC, I forecast that Ecommerce Q4 could be the biggest in history if a measure I was discussing “goes through fast”; I also said it might be the biggest either way because people were expecting it. The quoted post by @KobeissiLetter—not my own announcement—said President Trump had announced a “tariff dividend” of at least $2,000 per person and described it as stimulus checks being back. My post did not establish whether or how quickly the measure would proceed, or whether Q4 would set a record. This connects the trade-policy discussion to my Ecommerce outlook in ecommerce market growth.
