(4,721 posts)1. Could be. Krasnov likes to jerk everyone's chain
the only safe bet with the GOP Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is that he is lying. That's a constant.

(53,892 posts)2. I think big business has told him that uncertainty is worse than tariff taxes
He likes jerking people around, that's true. But tRump is committed to tariff taxes to replace income taxes and I think he will put more on with more certainty today.
By the way, thanks for picking up and calling tariffs what they are: taxes, tariff taxes.

There are more, heavier tariff taxes, but he did not clarify the situation with certainty.

products. But who knows?
