    Tariffs really are his version of “nothing a little duct tape can’t fix”

    The sheer stupidity of this and the ~1 month out timeline says he chickens out to me, but the fact we’ve already tried these tariff threats says it might be for real this time. Also weren’t we pretending we had a “deal” with Japan just like a month or two ago?

    And as always we are doing pointless economic damage to ourselves either way 🙂

    If Vietnam negotiated and gave him a hotel and still got 20% what incentive will they have to try and negotiate?

    so uhh im losing track of the timeline and events of the negotiations, do the Japanese or Koreans get a Fell For It Again Award or not ?

    If any Democratic President were doing this kind of shit with tariffs, Republicans in Congress would be (rightfully) screaming from the rooftops calling for their head.

    But because we have Daddy Trump in the White House…
