Which is why he’s flip-flopped on iPhones, bread and circuses, but is a 20% tariff enough to persuade Apple to onshore production? Unlikely, imo. And if it is enough, who is going to make Lutnick’s robots who assemble the iPhones in the US of A? China? Taiwan? Japan? With tariffs on their import. Nobody, but nobody, is going to invest in America because the risk of tariffs being lifted for the mid-terms is too great.
Loss number one, Mr Trump. Now, how is your understanding of what “non-negotiable” means going? I know it’s a new concept for you, but you aren’t going anywhere with Putin until your comprehension increases. You say that you want the killing to stop, but you won’t accept the Russia’s basic requirements. Putin isn’t trying to sell you a tower block, setting a high price that he expects you to beat him down a bit. “The Art of the Deal” doesn’t work here. Loss number two. And you’re using up all your ammo in Yemen because Israel broke the truce in Gaza. Loss number three.
