- Donald Trump will “probably” announce a compromise with Canada and Mexico as early as Wednesday, which could scale back his new 25% tariffs on top U.S trading partners, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.
- The comments came after the U.S. stock market limped to a close for a second day of sharp declines.
- The Trump administration enacted sweeping tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after putting them on pause for a month.
I don’t think he cares. He doesn’t give a shit about the US, or how much damage he causes. He only cares about himself, and maybe a few of his associates, maybe, though I’d wager that caring only extends so far as they continue to act sycophantic. He’d turn on them in an instant if they stopped playing into his ego.
If another country’s leader was pulling this shit against the US, we’d have arranged for their leader to be deposed, or to fall down some stairs, or for a coup to occur, or something. If only some other country would do the same now.
Unfortunately the secret service is probably too competent to let that happen.
I dunno man, that’s the same secret service that let some kid with a trash scope get a shot off that basically won trump the presidency.
