Trump should reserve applying tariffs in a focused manner, tell the world carve outs for those nations who have trade agreements with America.

You clearly do not understand the meaning of words or logic. Canada and Mexico either need US more than we need them, or they don't. "We kind of do" is meaningless drivel.

I think the problem is Hump lost his credibility the first time he threw out NAFTA. There's a certain point where no one will make an agreement with you if you don't honor the ones you've already made.

Wanna bet he is more selective once he takes office and/or will have plenty of carve outs/addendums?

He listens to people and will find a balance. He did the same his first term.

It's the same with the JFK files. He said he would release the rest of them but there will still be restrictions for sure if he did. Plenty of redactions etc.

He generally keeps his promises but there is always an asterisk whether he planned to alter them or not.

That's what you hope he will do. And you're playing with fire.

The universal tariffs ARE his signature item on his economic plan. Just like the wall was his signature item on immigration. He's gonna do it with the help of yes men.

Better to shut up and be thought a fool that opening your mouth and removing all doubt.
