lol I’m not even American, I’m Canadian but this is so silly.
Trump imposed tariffs during his first term and role them back after a few months.
He’s just trying to get favourable deals and he will drop the tariffs as soon as he gets them.
All the evidence you need is the fact that he keeps pushing them back. If what you say is true then please explain why he isn’t just implementing them immediately?
I bet all tariffs are lifted on the eve of April 2nd.

1. tariffs are a small part of what’s going on and what’s crashing the economy. As a Canadian, I wouldn’t expect you to keep up on all of it as you’re probably too busy eating poutine and watching hockey (must be nice)
2. he’s back and forth on the tariffs, again, because he can. It’s not a race it’s a marathon. He has a set amount for these executive orders (60 days I believe) and that’s why he’s speed running those, but the tariffs are open season and technically he has 2 years with a stacked house and senate either way
He’s using the tariffs as a bargaining tool. And he’s not a good businessman or bargainer he’s a fucking moron

Please explain this to your Canadian friends. This situation has caused them to be the greyest bears I've seen on Reddit in a while.
