My takeaway from what I've read and heard in the last few weeks is that his only actual motivation is to 'win'. He bragged yesterday that other countries are kissing his ass to negotiate deals on the tariffs. I think that was all he wanted, I think he now thinks that this whole tariff thing was a success and he's going to move on to the next crazy idea.

The rest of us suffer for it, except for the sad portion of the republican party who's only motivation is to own the libs and who now are congratulating themselves on how thoroughly the libs have been owned.
