So this clown already gave up in the trade war he started? Are you tired of winning already?

The Art of the Deal: Threaten War with your Best Friends until they Punch You In The Face

He literally broke the previous trade deal he himself signed to start the trade war

He made a deal with both Canada and Mexico in 2018! They should just tell him to stick to that deal. I can’t believe anyone would be seriously interested in negotiating with someone who wants to dump his own trade deal 6 years after signing it.

There are mechanisms for conducting trade negotiations that don’t require all the threats and drama. Give direction and let the Commerce Department and our trade representatives do their jobs.

He’s collapsing America’s economy. His voters will notice this after 1 month. After 3 months things will get expensive. After a year they’ll vote in Democrats. He has no other option. It’s not like he can blame Democrats now that he has admitted he is causing this.

Does anyone have any insight into what more Canada could even offer here? 60% of their imports are from the US, they sell their petroleum blend (WCS) at a calculated discount to WTI. I’m struggling to see how Canada could any better of a trading friend to the US.

He will sign something today then have a brain fart next week and scrap it. Canadian political leaders know this. The powder will be kept dry. Citizen boycotts will continue.

Buy the dip in the market like the wealthy, that’s what all this is about.

In early February this year Trump tried to install his tariffs against Mexico and Canada. That lasted about 2 days. The Stock Market took exception to Trump’s proposed tariffs and he near immediately revoked them (he called it a pause) based on his claim that Mexico and Canada had acceded to his demands when in fact, both countries only offered up what they had previously offered to Biden. However, Trump needed a way out. And his way was to claim victory and pause the tariffs.
Fast forward to March 4th when Trump again tries to impose those same tariffs on those same two countries. The Stock Market immediately takes offense and by the end of the day Trump is indicating he might modify those tariffs. Trump is not afraid of a trade war. The insipid child thinks he can win one simultaneously fought against the EU, China, Mexico, and Canada whose combined GDP dwarfs that of the US. Nope. Trump fears the US Stock Market. And his actions clearly show that.

Scraps NAFTA for a new Trade Agreement USMCA. Proclaims victory.
Blows up his own Deal, acts like it never happened, and creates another Trade crisis, for what exactly? For what?
Market manipulation.

What a terrible negotiator. How is he negotiating from a position of strength now? I don’t understand at all

Trump wants one thing only – the best tv ratings and he knows from long experience that conflict brings the best ratings.

They should both demand their pound of flesh.

How does the „Find Out“ portion of this trade war feel now, Donald?

I’ve been on the conservative page and it is terrifying with the flipped narrative.

They (and EU) should coordinate to call Trump’s bluff.
