Aside from the other comments being correct about market manipulation, I don’t think this shitstain actually believes in the tariffs. He’s like a selfish whiney toddler that found his dad’s loaded gun. He doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation, but everyone started acting really cautious and listens to his demands when he starts waving it around.

I’m fine with it being $500/day at first. Then after a set period of noncompliance (like 1wk), it doubles each day. Even for the 1%, exponential growth is small, until it isn’t.
