stop saying trump never intended the tariffs to actually take effect you fucking idiots. he does what he does to see what he gets away with, and he gets away with exactly what we fail to sufficiently oppose. everything he does he’s serious about unless it fails

No need to have any power if he just wanted to shock people

that's the secret to trump; that's his core
but i dont really see why we would want to oppose these tariffs. Not our job. Let the various fractions of the bourgeoisie squabble over it.
I think that a movement which opposes those tariffs would necessarily have a bourgeois character.
And even then, it would fail. Annexation, however, that is something which the whole proletariat can oppose.
He's been penetration testing the entire country for years now and it's really clear that's what this is
he meant it then, and he'll mean it the next time he says it.
If people are smart, rather than assuming this is over, they'll take this time to prepare for the next round.
And this time around, they're not going to give him a chance to not be a massive dipshit.
(tho idk how much of trump capitulating is due to retaliatory tariffs and how much is from the ceo of goldman sachs showing him a version of the zapruder film show from an entirely new angle, so to speak)
