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?

...yeah, this is what it looks like when the Exec is a buffoon and has actually ordered the rudder of the ship of state to be destroyed, thrown the engines overboard (to make the ship lighter), asked the rest of the world to use it for target practice, then destroyed its communications (because everything not sycophant-generated MUST be a lie), blew several holes into the hull well below the water line, then realized that the first executive orders already sold / dismantled the escape boats and everyone who COULD help has been fired and roundly criticized...

Does that help? 😉🤣

@SomeMichGuy One more: the patient comes in for a checkup, he's placed on a surgical table, no anesthesia, his arms and legs are amputated, and then they proceed to see what's wrong with him.
