    We are putting tarrifs on stuff we buy from you, because you make too much money on us. But we are going to remove tarrifs from the stuff that we buy from you, because we need them.

    Jesus fucking Christ. At this point I want him to go all in on tariffs and actually hold on so at least I know what’s coming. The fucking indecisiveness and Randomness is literally driving me insane.

      The funny thing is that it’s supposed to stimulate US manufacturing. Like companies are going to invest years of time and billions of dollars building factories and moving production to the US, because of a tariff system that changes every 2 days.
