The problem for me is I have no idea what "work" means. Is the objective clear, and what is the definition of success?

Essentially? In 18 months tariffs will need to bring back all manufacturing to the US, factories that takes 5 years to build ned to be completed and staffed, the stock market needs to be at least where it was three days ago, people will need their retirement accounts to go back up, prices will need to be back to current levels, and the overall opinion of the average American has to be that they are in a better place. If not, the Dems take both halves of Congress, impeach Trump, Impeach his replacement, and in 2028 they take the White House.

So you know, basically a year and a half to entirely rewrite the economic systems of the entire planet and do so in a way that the average American's life is better in that timeframe.

In brief: we're leveraging other countries to treat us more fairly than they have in the past.

It works if the pressure continues until EU caves, it doesn't work if the pressure is forced off before anything changes. There's no situation in which pressure is maintained indefinitely but nothing changes as a result.

If you're not paying attention to what's actually happening and what Trump has openly defined as what he's doing why are you commenting here? I'm serious why are you commenting when you have no idea what's going on but it is plainly stated? Stop listening to the talking heads that are screaming about how horrible everything he's doing is and actually go look at what he's saying. Why the f*** would you even be on this sub if you're not paying attention to what's actually going on?
