Gut Check

Let’s pause for a gut check. Trump Told Canada on day one, he would implement tariffs. Then he moved it to February 1. This feels like one big waiting with baited-breath manipulation of Canada. The Prime Minister and others accurately described his negotiation style when they said he likes to start by throwing you off balance and create a little chaos. The first few minutes of this episode of the Canadaland podcast accurately sum up what he is doing.
