....Trump has pretty much proven that he knows what he is doing ... Some things are done for effect to lay the ground for what he is planning to do next. When he does this there is a Knee Jerk reaction by pretty much the whole world .... Then somehow magically the President pulls the cover off of what he was doing and presents to the world ... another kept promise from his campaign.
... ..... That said ... I’m pretty sure Trump’s whole “Tariff” thing is meant to create some kind of “Leverage” ... Real or imagined ... as a prelude to renegotiating the NAFTA trade agreement as well as other trade agreements with other nations.
Trump is just starting to put real and long lasting tariffs, hopefully on everything. Dream on Free Traitors™, but your day is done.
