I mean cmon, its not like Trump has been president before and did impose hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tariffs. He continues to announce, memorandum, and EO tariffs on pretty much a weekly basis right now. You think hes gaining leverage but the reality is that he is turning our allies/partners against us, at OUR expense, isolating the US and priming a future Chinese hegemony because no matter what Trump may or may not gain in the short term, the long term consequences of his actions are clear; western democracies will find ways to shift away from their dependence on the U.S. for trade or alliance. Nothing good is going to come from Trump bullying our allies and raising the cost of living of Americans. Its a lose-lose game for everyone except our explicit adversaries.
