What I used to be making an attempt to do was get a deal with on the numbers of proposed Tariffs by the Trump Admin., that being Trump himself. Chart to the best identifies them. The verbiage to the left is an outline of every proposed tax.
A whole lot of proposals on the desk with lots of them being delayed. All of which makes me surprise if Trump is critical or not. I don’t consider he’s critical. He muddied up the water, so others have a tricky time figuring out if he’s critical or not. A number of threats being made after which delaying them.
As Steve Bannon mentioned; “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit,” and “This is not about persuasion: This is about disorientation.”
Have a look at the dates. If he was critical, there could be no dialogue.
