He will probably end up with some fake “deal” that is nothing and then will declare that he won. There’s just no sense in dropping these massive tariffs on a relatively stable economy!?!??

You’re overthinking it, it’s not about whether something will change or be improved in exchange —— it’s about just declaring victory with whatever small deal is made.
He can say 'Can/Mex caved & gave me what I wanted.' But their leaders will ridicule that & only true MAGA believers will believe it.
Plus, supposed REAL purpose of tariffs is to 'tax foreigners,' help US economy, etc. How can that be accomplished if he removes them quickly?
The electorate doesn’t care about logic like that, it’s either they feel like something was accomplished or they feel like it wasn’t. The only way to get through to enough of them to matter is for them to feel the pain directly.
