    Trump says he decided on 90-day tariff pause because people were
    'yippy' and 'afraid'
    ...
    ...
    The president's pause of "reciprocal" tariffs does not apply to one
    country: China. Instead, Trump announced he would be unilaterally
    raising the rate on China further to 125% because of "the lack of
    respect that China has shown." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-he-decided-on-90-day-tariff-pause-because-people-were-yippy-and-afraid-181126787.html

    the lack of respect

    Oh, so says Judge Trump!

    No, because Republicans that matter convinced him he was destroying the party's chance of reelection.

    Proof it's just bully tactics.

    He's quite transparent.

    and that transparency allows you to perceive the interior, which is pure, unadulterated, horse crap.

    He has consistently backed off on his tariff threats, granting reprieves of various lengths. He's quite transparent.

    He is just trolling. He knows that if china wanted to, they could shut
    down the US IT sector completely. US is dependent on china, china is in no
    way dependent on the US.

    Imagine Trumps fear if EU, China, India, Africa and South america started
    free trading. That is what keeps him up at night.
