I think Trump is bluffing about tariffs..don't u?

He is, after all, a DISRUPTER! And he wants to be popular. Tariffs won't keep him popular.

Tarriffs created the juggernaut of US industrial and consumer might.

I hope he's serious. If we can even get to 25% of locally manufactured goods the tipping point of self sufficiency, which the USA is certainly capable of, will be made.

This is the solution to homelessness and high crime statistics. Wealth and self sufficiency gives us our dignity.

@SteelHands people like you are the problem with this country

Talks cheap, @MethDozer

Yeah @MethDozer. People like me?

You don't know anything about me or my military service.

So watch your mouth little girl.
Trump doesn't just want to be popular, though. He wants to be the most, in every category, and he really doesn't do well outside of his areas of expertise, i.e., self promotion, hyperbole and outright fraud.

I think the disrupter schtick is secondary to his self interest.

Tarriffs to Trump are likely nothing more than an opportunistic idea he picked up, like being pro choice, then, pro-life, and State's Rights.

I doubt that he is bluffing. Tariffs are not as bad as many imagine. That and the fact that imposing tariffs will increase domestic production.

He needs to focus on what he wants tariffs for. Re-shoring manufacturing industries, or raising revenue. They can't do both, that is a logical fallacy.
Oh yes, and he is also such a terrific dancer, grooving to the oldies. And the worlds greatest Magician, 😱 he actually declassified files just by thinking about it 🙀 Holy Cats!

He's not playing poker.

Well, considering he lies 100% of the time, and a bluff is a lie…

@jshm2 If a tax will make things stronger rather than waste it on buying people, I'm for it.

@Wiseacre We've been losing jobs for 50 years already.

Time for that to stop.
