Are just reality TV at thus point.

There is posturing involved, but we are basically living in a situation where the tariffs are just a way of life. As far as I know, we are paying new kind of tax, especially considering the amount of time they have been in place and how China still seems to hold the advantage anyway.

So, no. It can't be about a strategic threat. Trump has a different playbook he is reading from.
