Trump’s tariffs, then pause on tariffs caused global markets to panic and MAGA acolytes will laugh and proclaim Trump is ‘owning the libs’.
As if this insanity is a legitimate negotiating tactic.
Trump’s arguments as to why he has imposed tariffs simply don’t stack up and you can’t work out if he’s needing some egotistical alpha male symbolism of bending the knee or whether he’s just bracing markets for the tariffs he intends to implement permanently.
He is on orange bully king who intends to seduce Greenland, economically annex Canada, militarily seize Panama Canal, cleanse Gaza and deport all illegal migrants to El Salvador.
While building the wall.
I don’t think the Tariffs will pause, I think he’ll find another dumb reason to implement them because he wants to implement them.
