don't agree with the blanket tariffs over the entire world. Hit China hard and then use that as a threat to the rest of the world and start renegotiating.
I didn’t mind him making his point with the blanket tariffs then backing off. I thought until today that’s where we were, negotiating with everyone and going hard after China.
He is backing off China when China has offered zero concessions. That’s going to lose him some support because now we question if he really is negotiating or if he backed down due to pressure from corporations when stocks went down

This is stupid. If China doesn't come out with a similar statement, this is his first misstep in this whole tariff thing.

It’s pretty much been his strategy from day one. What are you thinking?

Refunding the money kinda seems like an end of the game move, but that's just me
We're not far off from "refunding the money was the plan since day one"

"Yes. Maybe. Maybe not."
It is using that thought as a catch-all and an excuse for any and every misstep the man makes that is the issue.

I know what you mean, so I’m not arguing. It’s been the same strategy since 45.

Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino earned the ire of MAGA when he recently reported that conservatives were wrong to suggest Trump outsmarted the world with tariffs. Instead, according to Gasparino's reporting, Trump and his closest aides became terrified about impacts on the long-term bond market, which is seen as more stable than stocks. "I mean, I want to tell you right now that Donald Trump outsmarted the world, trust me," Gasparino told Fox News host Sandra Smith. "I'm an American. I support my president. But that's not really what happened here."

Everyone knows Trump shoots from the hip, shucks and jives, moves with the ebbs and flows.
People are wishing him to fail, and freaking out is out of control on this board right now.
I believe we are in agreement on your initial point though I disagree with your secondary point. On the main point, Trump’s industrial and trade policies reflect both nationalist and pragmatic considerations.
As a nationalist, Trump believes the industrial capability of a nation is not simply a matter of economic policy but is at it’s core a matter of national security. And as a pragmatist, Trump is not a dogmatic ideologue and is willing to negotiate on points of contention when it comes to matters of international trade.
Trump’s economic vision thus reflects aspects of both nationalism and pragmatism. While Trump believes tariffs should be used to protect America’s industrial base, Trump is also willing to use tariffs as a negotiating tool to leverage better deals with trading partners.
Yet such trade policies necessarily entail the risk of trade wars, market instability, job losses, higher prices and an economy in a free-fall. Noting the very real possibility that Trump’s strategy on tariffs could backfire spectacularly does not mean I am hopeful that Trump fails.

This was predicted several times by several different people on this forum alone. The amount of pain Xi and Trump are willing to inflict on their people is badly asymmetric. Close to divide-by-zero territory.

I keep trying to find anywhere from anywhere other than HERE whining about Trump "giving up" and I cannot. This forum has turned to shite.

It really has. Every day crying about what Trump does, doesn’t do, or how it isn’t meeting expectations of posters who likely didn’t even vote for him. Some want him or his power removed and it hasn’t been 90 days.

As opposed to you and people like you carrying his water no matter what he does
There have been some embarrassing moments in his tenure so far. Denying that is tantamount to kool aid sipping
Which is fine, I guess, but at least own that shite
