The other day you told me the tarrifs were about returning strength to our economy. Now you are running victory laps.. for what?

It's a slight victory. The last four years have been so bad this is like a breath of fresh air.

Don't you think that could have been resolved in normal diplomacy? It's a joint effort that was agreed to. Again, no one conceded anything.
What does this have to do with trade imballances, which was the original point of the tarrif threats?
This is all theater.

You vote for Trump to troll the most annoying people on the left. Of course it's all theatre, it's politics.
But also remember Trump thinks of himself as a master negotiator, someone who can make impossible deals happen. The last few weeks he's essentially been enjoying calling the bluff of anyone in positions of power, including the leaders of other countries, who have tried to 'keep their principles' to say they can't be bullied by the US.
Fact is, yes they can. And they know Trump is far more likely to actually just bulldoze their protestations with a boorish use of power than be bluffing to 'keep good relations'. Just look at how completely the Colombian president caved when he tried to stop what Trump wanted.
Right now, he's doing what his supporters want: kicking out illegal immigrants, rolling back omnipresent DEI, and shutting down the peepeewaving of smaller countries that his supporters think have no position to threaten the USA. He's 'America, frick yeah!' personified.

You honestly believe this is Canada caving to pressure? They just spent 0 dollars to get the tarrifs delayed 30 days.

How does giving extended time for free put them on the back foot?

What do you mean "for what"? Canada agreed to *check notes* continue with their border plan that they announced two months ago.
It's a Total Trump Victory, libtard
