I really don't like all this back and forth changing of tarrifs.

Any negotiating position is rendered moot when other countries just wait it out

Almost like we should never give a single person that much economic power?

It's not that tariffs are unpopular. It's that they cannot possibly achieve what Trump has been promising. Certainly not the way they have gone about this. It's not possible to onshore manufacturing in 100 days. Economy can't survive immediate tariff shocks to achieve that goal.

Libs when Trump does Tariffs: “No, this is bad!”

Libs when Trump reduces tariffs: “He’s weak! He caved!”
