Trump isn’t perfect, but he is definitely predictable. He does this constantly— If you disagree with him he attacks. When you cave, he embraces you and then you’re “beautiful, the best.” This is just classic Trump. These tariffs aren’t going to last.
I tend to agree with you in that the tariffs won’t last. It’s just part of a urination contest. Trump will win in the end. When Trump wins, genuine American citizens win.
Trump started the trade war because Canada and Mexico have not secured their borders and we do not have fair trade with them. This will not last long. They will get their border secure and fair trade will happen and the tariffs will go away. That is Trumps plan.
