He'll back down. He's always backing down.

Must be some sort of adrenaline rush or something, threating big players. Then it wears off and everyone tries to explain he's being an idiot and eventually he backs down.

Edit: Don't forget the tariffs are paid for by ~~us~~ US consumers.

This is retaliation for sanctioning Russia. He will back down once the wall street start sitting their pants about interest rate increasing for Treasury bills.

He bankrupted 4 casinos, so he can bankrupt a country.
