Trump Pulls a 180 on His Tariffs Threat—and Makes Things Way Worse

1. >President Trump continues to pivot endlessly on tariffs, badly destabilizing the very market he claims he’s trying to balance.

   >“On the tariffs that you’re planning … you’re expected to hit something like 10 to 15 countries, is that right?” a reporter asked Trump on Sunday, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s description of the countries with the largest trade deficits with the U.S. as the “Dirty 15.”

   >“I don’t know who told you 10 or 15 countries,” Trump replied.

   >“Well we heard that.”

   >“But you didn’t hear it from me.”

2. Too late to back down, Trump is getting tired of looking weaker and weaker. The former allies are fighting back and even the Canadians are up in arms pushing all sorts of boycotts from Tesla to American groceries, wine and spirits.

3. The dealmaker. If he just kept his daddy’s portfolio he would have been top 10 richest Americans easily. Instead he went on to bankrupt multiple casinos 

4. He obviously didn’t know the answer to “how many countries will be affected.”

5. I wish he didn’t move his head in Philly.

6. 

7. The orange nazi thought the world would capitulate.

   But other than outright war the US doesn’t have much to offer when china will gladly fill in wherever we drop the ball.

   Americans dont realize this but china outspends us around the world doing projects that get them more influence, more trade, and more raw materials.
