    DJT thinks the pressure will result in better deals, but it may result in pissed off allies, broken deals and broken trust, to say nothing of unintended consequences for US businesses and consumers.
    It has resulted in pissed off allies.

    The justification, i.e. national security, for the steel tariffs is especially galling for the Canucks who have lost their share of soldiers in Afghanistan.

    when you've lost the Koch brothers...

    Three organizations financed by conservative billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch are launching a multimillion-dollar campaign against President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports.


    The groups said Monday that the multiyear initiative will include advertising, education of activists, lobbying, policy analysis and “grass roots mobilization.” The groups — Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity and The Libre Initiative — released a list of trade recommendations that focus on encouraging compe ive markets and eliminating tariffs.

    He said he would. One might ding the guy, but he has been trying to keep his campaign promises.

    The problem is that the promises were ty to begin with, and based, like so many Republican policies, on ignorance. These were just more so, IMO.

    He is angling to ditch NAFTA and wants a "sunset" provision that CAN and MEX view as game changers. The stupidity is just getting warmed, up, because Trump thinks "we can't lose".

    G7 meeting coming up, in Canada. Look for that not to go well. Iran deal pullout, TPP pullout, Tarriffs... he has done something that has pissed off every other member of that group.

    I guess we will get to see what happens when you have a meeting with people you just on.

    The monster turns on his creators. 'em, and the Trump voters. At this point, I will have little pity to see anyone who voted for this guy thinking he would "shake things up" lose their asses, when the rest of the world slaps tariffs on US goods, and starts shunning US businesses.

    That's what it means to have tariffs, Chris. It means the government puts its thumb on the scales.

    The government also decides which companies have to play by the rules and which get waivers.

    Those aren't opinions -- that's how tariffs work.

    Not really an opinion. Trump administration wants to order power companies to buy coal power that is more expensive than the alternative.

    Should the government tell some private companies to make less money, so others can make more?
