I think the tariffs will kick in by the end of this week and by next week at this time we'll all be billionaires.

What's amusing is that this time around...when it comes to China or the war in Ukraine...Trump is really leaning into that "It's HARD to make a deal" thing.

He didn't do as much of that first time around. He'd pick an arbitrary imaginary "target date" in the near future and would stir up so much garbage in the interim that people would forget that date, which is what he intended when he teased it.

There is literally nothing new going on with Trump. He's just given up any concern for hiding it.
