    i think he’s doing it either as retribution for not helping with iran or as leverage to get them to do something with iran.

        He has no reasons.

        I wish people who are being played would understand they are being played. Trump has very good reasons for these tariffs - market disruption and opportunity for insiders to make big money and he applies and lifts, increases and decreases week to week.

          I don’t share your confidence of their confidence. Weakening the US economically, isolating it from allies, destroying herd immunity and public health, bringing back formerly extirpated/eradicated diseases and pests.

          The rich and powerful are not protected from this. The opposite of win-win is not win-lose, its lose lose.

      Nah, its just the brain cell that works today.

      Tomorrow it will be Greenland.

      The day after hell remember he’s in a war with Iran.

      Wash, rinse, repeat
