Tariffs are great bargaining tools to create behavior beneficial to the USA. Anyone that says otherwise is either TDS infected or has limited economic sense.

It's C.

Expect caving in the future.

That will open new markets for US exports that will more cheaply make it overseas.

The smaller US tariffs will make more companies onshore.

Or it all goes to shite.

Who knows.

I feel like B, C, and D

But I’m also glad they are cutting some of those consultant contracts at the government.

Those companies for the most part are insane leaching turds, and based on our representatives not many are smart or able enough to call bullshite on them.
