    haha. If he didn’t before Trump sure looks like an idiot now. He didn’t think his plan through and tried to smash it into place all slipshod and now he is backing off and making concessions because he is hurting his own people.

    He doesn’t want to look weak so he’ll keep the rhetoric about “harsh tariffs on China” and China will keep their tariffs on american goods in response while trump undermines himself sector by sector. We’ll end up with a situation where there is a 145% tariff on a half dozen things from China and China charges 125% on everything from america because trump cant take his foot out of his mouth.

      Yeah he blinked first, and now he looks weak. He couldn’t even figure out how to spin this positively on social media. Must be killing him inside. 🤣
