Donald Trump scared people he hadn’t scared before

GOOD!!!!!!

President Trump "scared" the EU/NATO into actually funding their own defense. WHAT A CONCEPT!

Seventy plus countries are so "scared" that each one of them is pleading for a place in the front of the tariff line to settle, agree with President Trump.

MORE! MORE! MORE!

So, did he succeed by failing, or fail by succeeding?

There was no climbdown. There are still tariffs in place:

-Steel and Aluminum tariffs of 25% still in place.

-Auto tariffs of 25% still in place.

-Reciprocal tariffs 10% for all, 125% for China.

The Wall Street Journal who has had no credibility for a couple of decades trots out a fossil just to confirm they are no longer relevant. It’s like a SNL parody at this point.

LOL. Complete nonsense. The left and Never Trumpers have been touting this BS since the world, except for the suicidal CCP, capitulated to President Trump’s successful financial maneuvers. They are loath ever to give the man they hate so much any credit for anything whatsoever.
Their hatred for this man supersedes all logic and reasoning. Period.

“Some thoughts on a climbdown for the ages.”

At least she had the decency to put her spurt of venom up front.

Does she get paid for this? It reads like a diary entry.

Peggy Noonan??? She’s the embodiment of hubris, superciliousness, and arrogance. I couldn’t care less what she thinks about ANYTHING.

I agree, garbage—both the ideas and the writing. Was is supposed to sound like some odd beat poem?

Such a trashy article full of bs, everyone I talk to loving it and wanting to go full tariff throttle. Americans are tired of being slaves and want to take back their country.
