Or, he's resigned himself to losing. Note that he is going to push Barrett through, if it kills him.

Do you think he's that noble? Pushing a SCOTUS appointment over his own self-interest?

I dunno. What does Nancy think?

Possibilities:

1. He's tired of being POTUS
2. SARS-CoV-2 has caused neurological damage

3. Side effects from drugs he's still taking to deal with SARS-CoV-2 that's still in his body.

He’ll reverse himself in a day or two.

He’ll reverse himself in a day or two.

And a case can still be made that the reversal may be due to him changing his COVID-19 meds then.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah, he will.

Does "the market" not know that Trump will change his mind?
Or is "the market" telling to Trump to change his mind, "or else!" ?

[Jolly]

Or is the market so volatile, that news of any kind moves the graph?

[Axtremus]

The correct over/under is “hours”:

Trump says he will back specific relief measures hours after halting talks

Trump simply inserted himself, I don’t understand why no one saw that coming.

[Jolly]

Indeed.

Trump inserted himself only to reverse himself a few hours later, a rather incompetent move.

Oh well, at least @jon-nyc saw Trump's "reversal" coming, just a bit off with his timing (reversal in "hours" as opposed to reversal in "a day or two").

[Jolly]

Negotiation, lad.

[Jolly]

No-no Nancy...
