Yet again we see what the threat of tariffs is for...a bargaining tool. Trump is setting the bar high to get a deal. Has the woke left not learned yet how he works? Trump is transactional.

Trump doesn't need to be POTUS; he's a billionaire who can't be bought, unlike all previous Presidents and all of Congress.
