    Just because Trump said 90 days doesn’t mean he’s actually going to wait 90 days. What Trump says has zero impact on what Trump does. Trump signed the previous trade agreement with Canada and Mexico last time he was in office that he violated with these tariffs.

    He just said “90 days” to maximize the market bounce. In two days he’ll complain that other countries are not removing their retaliatory tariffs (because real governments value consistency and won’t yo-yo their population like that) and I give him two weeks before he puts them back again. A month tops, but that’s giving Trump way too much credit.

      I dunno, “Liberation day” and January 6th both arrived on schedule and people acted as if there was no way to foretell the events of those days.

      The big short 2 will be a short feature where those “in the know” just read a newspaper.
