    It’s probably dropped low enough now for him and his goonies to buy everything up just in time for the tariffs to get reversed this week. At this point I’ll be shocked if they don’t reverse the tariffs this week.

        Isn’t that what Canada last time he announced a Tariff then dropped it? They just said “Nope not dropping ours until you calm the fuck down”

          You can’t manufacture leverage like that. The “imbalance” he’s talking about didn’t exist in the first place. If he drops tariffs, he’s still in a materially worse position than when he started. He would need to provide concessions to get other nations to drop tariffs.
