Can Any MAGA Explain Trump's Tariffs?

I'm taking a few days to recoup from the flip flopping induced whiplash. Same for the rest of the world.

Today's latest, the Administration is now saying that their intent was not to punish China, but to help it diversify its economy from a total focus on manufacturing to a bended manufacturing model.

So, out of curiosity, where did the "Sir, may we please have a deal, they're kissing my ass", and "we're making $2B a day from China with the tariffs", comes in that strategy?

@1490wayb or watch a confused mouse running away from every object it perceives that seems like a threat.

Sure, but the puzzling part, is that he faked his team and scored in his own goal.

or opening move of a chess match

Forfeiting the game is not really a sign the person is great at 3-D chess.

@1490wayb

who is the successful billionaire??

1. How is this a response to the question.

2. You'll need to qualify "successful". The only evidence that he might be a Billionaire, is when he issued his own crypto, the day before he was sworn in. Perhaps you want to rephrase that as grift?

@1490wayb asks

who is the successful billionaire??

Nice effort to change the subject!!
But I'll answer.

Bill Gates
Warren Buffet
Mark Cuban
Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Reid Hoffman, Seth Klarman, John Pritzker, and hundreds of others.

Now I've got a question for you: how many business men do you know of who have bankrupted FOUR casinos??

@ElwoodBlues Technically, he is a billionaire and I explained to him how he did it: grift.
