What’s the rule about playing chicken again? The one to flinch loses, right?
What does that make Trump now?
Playing games with the lives of billions.
Nothing says confidence in what you are doing more than flip-flopping.
They are trying to explain “this was the plan all along”. Bullshit, they just are flipflopping and have no idea how to run the show.
The smartest! And the bigliest best ideas!
The President said in a social media post
Imagine doing all this damage from a toilet.
He doesn’t see it as flinching, he sees it as taking a big swing at China. It’s like when you’ve got all your marks lined up against the wall you’re shouting at all of them to give you their wallets, then one of them talks back. When you pistolwhip that guy, you can give him all your attention cause all the others are just going to watch. All Trump really knows is the art of the stick-up. I don’t see this playing out the way he thinks it will, though.
Who’s going to build these factories in the US when the tariffs are on-again off-again like a sitcom couple?
We’ve had about 9 different tariff regimes (all responding to the same “emergency”) in a little over two months. Trump thought he could ride into Tokyo on Godzilla’s shoulders only to raise a white flag out the bottom of a footprint moments later.
