#3Any bets on how this will be justified by Trump voters?
I'm thinking at first it'll be 'playing hardball negotiating tactic' and when it looks like the tariffs are here to stay 'paying more is patriotic'.

Plenty of videos around, default rethoric is to 'give them time, they said it would hurt at first' which sounds awfully close what people in abusive relationships would say now that I think about it.

#5Reminder to decouple from the US, because they’re gonna export this tariff (ie pass the cost) to the rest of the world.

"Tariffs will save the free market!" or some other typical contradictory blather.

There's already talk about the tariffs being curtailed tomorrow. Which got the stock market all hopeful at end of day.
Which I'm sure if this happens, will be accompanied by some bullshit claims of some concessions he supposedly obtained.
And a lot of people in-the-know who made easy coin on the stock market today.
And his followers will eat it up. Last month there was all sorts of blather on social media about how "Trudeau caved" because "Trump strong" etc. despite Canada simply re-iterating the same position it had had since December.

No, it will be Biden’s fault for ruining the economy and causing inflation. Trump didn’t have a choice, just trying to save the economy really. Doing what’s best for the people.

"These are external taxes paid by the exporting countries. Beautiful tariffs will allow the US to eliminate the IRS and replace it with an ERS".
Basically no point in even having a conversation about it. The same way you don't discuss evolution with someone who thinks the universe is 6000 years old.
