12. If Trump backs off on the tariffs, it wont be because of Canada & Mexico groveling to Trump.

It will be the exact opposite. Did people see Trudeaus speech? He's not backing down. Of course Trump expected Canada and Mexico to back down, but they clearly wont so Trump may try to save face by lying. But the rest of the world can already see that Trump failed in his extortion attempt against Canada and Mexico and so Trump is now even weaker than he was before.
