    And then after 90 days what happens? Because if today you order stuff from another continent to be shipped by ocean, there’s a chance it will arrive after that date. Especially if everyone has the same idea of frontloading their warehouses before he changes idea again

      He isn’t going to wait 90days , he’s too impatient, he will resume the tariffs as soon as he feels like it.

        Yep, and then pause them claiming, like he did this time, that somehow magically every nation in the world managed to negotiate with him to his satisfaction within a couple of days…

        Or claim that no one but China threatened retaliatory tariffs (and of course a lot of them did) and that’s why he gave them a reprieve to reward them for not retaliating.

        Or to claim that China is a bad actor because they imposed punitive tariffs and that’s only something that bad actors do…
