As someone mentioned earlier, this reeks of a "pump and dump" scheme.
The fact that Trump pretended to be unaware of the effects of the threatened tariffs on the stock market is pretty indicative of him knowing exactly what the effects would be...
Finally a theory that makes sense.
Yeah this actually makes the most sense. Like damn I didn't think about it before. I even saw the stocks plumet but I never thought he'd do it on purpose.. but then again. He is a felon
I never thought he’d do it on purpose
Me neither; not because he's better than that, but because I didn't think his ego would let him pretend to take the L. Jokes on me! It seems like his handlers and the billionaires he surrounds himself with are (just) smart enough to play his ego to their own advantage.
I maybe naively thought that is common knowledge 😂🙈
The other countries should have offered a worse agreement.
Or he did something stupid to dilute media coverage from the process of turning the USA into a Oligarchy
Plus the added bonus of no one trusting the US anymore. Slow clap
He did gain something but lost a lot or rather usa lost a lot. He can just claim he forced other countries to enforce border on their dime by force to appeal to his cult. And ofc his cult will ignore or don't understand the value of trust lost and how this will cause prices to go up even if he backs out now. At least the neighbours are now aware of what's to come and can plan accordingly to reduce dependency on the bully.

all hail our TikTok savior.....
lmao the editing done to the meme is A+
And here I saw this as Trump wanting to prove to the country and rest of the world, he's loco in the cabeza, and that he wanted to make Canada dance by punching them squarely in the nose publicly, while his true target was China (trade) and Mexico (drugs and immigration), so he threw Canada in, to see what he could shake out of their pockets with zero effort. I get wanting to spin this as mockery of the bad man, and Trump is indeed a very terrible human being, but this isn't a win for anyone, with a 30 day timer counting down, to placate a man who hurts entire countries just because he can.
An hero we need. We don't deserve him.
