Honestly, its like watching a five-year-old playing SimCity, just randomly clicking buttons, demolishing bridges, and then wondering why the citys on fire.
I would not be surprised to see trump back down tonight at his silly speech

(66,172 posts)Something about how his strongliest tariff tactic caused Canada and Mexico, with tears in their eyes, to beg him "Sir, please no more, my country will be ruined..." and how they caved to whatever unknown, unverifiable demand he alleges that he made.
He's a fucking moron, and so is anyone that supports his stupid ass.

I think hes going to work something out with them, Lutnick said on Fox Business. Its not going to be a pause, none of that pause stuff, but I think hes going to figure out, you do more, and Ill meet you in the middle some way, and were going to probably be announcing that tomorrow.
Trumps policies have added uncertainty for the worlds biggest economy. The whipsaw application of tariffs and signs that perhaps that policy could change, all within a 24-hour span, have complicated decisions for businesses and increased pressure on an economy already showing signs of strain......
Lutnick said he had spoken with both Canadian and Mexican representatives about trade among the three countries.
A Canadian government source confirmed to CNN that Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc spoke with the US commerce secretary on Tuesday.
The 25% tariffs come after Trump also imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, raising that countrys rate to 20%.
