It was about asserting he could ruin everyone’s day if people didn’t suck up to him/pay him off.
And it worked.
If you realize he’s a terrorist pretending to be a reasonable person, rather than a reasonable person pretending to be a terrorist - things will make a lot more sense.
And all it cost him was whatever small credibility he had to prosecute a world wide trade war. As if someone who bankrupted multiple casinos has any economic cred.
Our former friends and trading partners just asserted how they can ruin Trump's day if he acts unreasonably. And confronted with the obvious, Trump folded like his former casino in Atlantic City.
Bottom Line: The largest bidders in auctions of US Treasury bonds are the same countries targeted with tariffs on "Liberation Day". And this "economic genius" totally failed to grasp the significance of this until after the fact. Duhhh!
And for now, he sits with our balls squeezed in his fist.
He’s well aware of the potential future problem of course (IMO) which is why he has been purging the FBI/DOJ/Military of anyone who is going to refuse to suck up to him too.

All the things you mentioned are what it cost us. He doesn’t care about us.
Who is the stupid one in this situation?

Yeah, Mussolini thought this way too. He hung corrected.

What hurts us also affects "Tariff Man". If it were otherwise, he would not have folded so quickly.

Elections do have consequences.
Indeed they do. And now we’ll feel what it’s like sticking that butter knife in the wall socket.
