Trump probably does know the difference - it’s more likely that this is fuel for his base (who don’t know the difference) and his “out” when he needs an excuse to drop the tariff talk again because he’s crashed the economy and markets. “Now that Justin is gone I can drop these tariffs.”
It's insane to me that world leaders are speaking the truth plainly, falling on deaf ears in the MAGA-verse. It feels like they prefer to be gaslighted.
