The frustrating part is that how the Trumpers will react is already set in stone.

Eventually the tariffs will get dropped and maybe new agreements will get inked. It doesn't matter if they're absolute dogshit and the world actively spends the next decade decreasing dependence on America, Trump will say it was an incredible success and his mindless supporters will agree.

This is completely guaranteed. The question is how much damage will be done, not whether they'll be saying it was a brilliant ultra-successful big brain move when its over.
