Check the record player, it seems to be skipping.

Were you being deliberately ironic?  Have Americans finally leaned about irony?

And I'm not so sure who will win. Tariffs alone doesn't say enough. It will have to specify all those exceptions. Otherwise US people might be hit by higher prices but no alternatives. I suppose Trump's advisers told him this.

Trump did not fold. The sanctions were never intended to happen. Two things were at stake, first testing blowback from his own people and second tightening up the Canada and Mexico borders. He achieved both goals with a bluff, a good poker player. I don't think he is as stupid as he pretends to be.
