    The real question is how many times is it going to take before Canada and the rest of the world just move completely away from trade with the united states of america to avoid dealing with whatever on again off again bullshit.

    What the fuck is he even doing?
    What’s the point of threatening, then implementing and then again reversing those tariffs?

    This has become a pattern now, and I don’t think, that it’s only incompetence, because they haven’t thought it through.

    Is this really only a pump’n’dump on the stock market, so he and and friends can get richer?

    Or what’s the deal here?
    Is it just to move the public focus away from other stuff, because this tariffs would be major things (actually: issues) and he uses them to divert attention, while he fucks over most of the parts of the remaining part of national government and courts?

    As this is reoccurring, this doesn’t feel right.

      It’s part of his firehose tactic. Do twelve scandalous things a day so that the media and public can’t focus on all of them, thus guaranteeing that several will go uncontested and unchallenged.
