that makes complete and total sense...to no one except you and Trump.

As pointed out above, they have no clue how to go about implementing the tariffs in a practical way. No rules had been written, no guidance from Commerce. Someone pointed that out to him on AF1 on the way back and he panicked. Like he usually does. He was out of the country for the whole week, how could he have accomplished anything? He doesn't take briefings, he won't/can't learn. They told him, "oh this thing here", and he said "yeah fine."

You somehow think you're "discoursing" by wandering from site to site, trying to argue to educated people that somehow Trump has the sense of a fruit fly. Not to mention throwing off bon mots without context like this--"Haha if only the world was that simplistic"

Because you are always the smartest person in every forum. You have an answer for every damn thing. With your whole 80 comments ever, you might've said something that somebody could catch you out on.

"You might want to seek professional help"

Did you just discover Wonkette today? FOH

“You somehow think you're "discoursing" by wandering from site to site, trying to argue to educated people that somehow Trump has the sense of a fruit fly.”

“Because you are always the smartest person in every forum.”

The irony is so thick here. You’re clearly lacking the self awareness to engage in any sort of “discoursing.”

And to say each comment stands alone is such a simplistic, easily understood and objectively true concept. That you fail to grasp it is frighteningly unflattering for you.

And yes. I’m comfortable asserting the donald has, at the very least, the sense of a fruit fly. Doesn’t take an “educated” person to see that.

Final note. I’m very impressed with you. Just not as impressed as you are with yourself.

Trump's "deal-making" strategies have always relied on the other party not being able to force him to honour his obligations. He'd sign a contract, receive the service then say "BTW, I'm only going to pay you 50% of the price we agreed". There are any number of stories of small creditors who were forced to accept far less than their due, because they couldn't afford to take it to court. But if the creditor called his bluff and started legal proceedings, he usually folded and paid up. That's why he and his businesses have been sued such an absurd number of times, with most cases resolved by settlement.

Mexico told him to eat a whole bag of dicks. And he folded.

Again proving that if you don't care how government works it's really hard to implement your admittedly bad ideas using said government. Lucky us, I guess? It is gonna be really fun when we find out how many financial companies made tons of money shorting investments based on this random volatility. There must be a whole ETF just based on scraping his twitter feed and betting against any company remotely related.

It's not just him. No one in the Admin could answer even the fundamental questions.

I have no doubt people are making money off it, but the markets really do like volitility.

Mostly he didn't lose in court. Counter sue, bury them in paperwork, and drag it out until the other party folds. Its what he's trying to do now with the House.

The Russia-owned fake president is a poison-spitting devil. Republicans sold their souls cheap.
