I'm not sure what you're asking. I think you're trying to make a point, but it is going over my head.

The world should read "less carrot, more stick" from the Trump admin.

But what stick? The stick doesn't work when they know you aren't going to use it

Reminds me of that scene in The Irishman: "Just show it to him, don't use it."

I think Trump will use the stick.

He caved on tariffs to both Mexico and Canada now, so I guess we'll move on to the next concept of a stick.
