Faced with any amount of pressure or pushback at all, Donald Trump always caves like a coward. It was consistently true last time around, and now it’s proving particularly true this time around. Trump implemented insane tariffs against Canada and Mexico over the weekend, but now he’s pulled the plug on both.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just announced that Trump has agreed to a thirty day pause on all tariffs, in exchange for pretty much nothing. This comes after Trump announced earlier today that he was dropping all tariffs against Mexico in exchange for ten thousand Mexican troops being placed on the border – but it turns out those troops have already been on the border for years.

This is just Trump’s way of trying to save face after an utterly disastrous move on his part. Remember, this guy is all hat and no cattle. We don’t stop Trump by yelling “oh no we’re doomed.” We stop him by calling out just how weak he is. Let’s keep chipping away at him by exposing his weakness.
