So, is a 90 day pause enough for him to think we just won't remember the clusterfuck

and he will stop with this bullshit:

Sort of like the wall Mexico was gonna pay for?

1. It will be 90 days or two days. Or no days, or 127 days.

No one can count on anything, hour to hour. Whatever he says today will be contradicted by himself at some point.

4. My guess is some brand new, obscenely absurd trade policy is announced on Fri

to cover his cockup and standing down in the face of opposition these past few days. Whatever the New Thing he announces Fri will push his failure into the background, and his fans will be given new opinions to assert.

As for us forgetting? Typically takes about 2 weeks, but he's gonna keep serving up daily dishes of chaos and outrage, so if forgetting was the driving issue, he could reinstate tariffs next week.

Which he might just do anyway, either as a flex or due to his IBS acting up overnight.

China is the big objective as I read. The rest is kabuki theatre.

China will fight back brutally. Without exchanging a dollar or firing a shot.

In 90 days rw media, and pretty much all media, will be touting how the devastating trade tariffs left in place by the past administration have lead to today's suffering. They will elaborate how fortunate we are that in just 90 days King Don has saved the world.

And the public will accept it as the truth
