Trump's tariff rules are like Fizzbin...

Each nation has 6 sectors tariffed, except for the nation on the right, who gets 7. Tariffs are applied, except on Tuesdays, when Trump deals out two more tariffs which are a "half-fizzbin". With a half-fizzbin, one can get pause, except at night, ...

Businesses are forward-looking/planning, yet I don't know how they can do so in this erratic environment.

Trump last week: “MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE.” Today its maybe he'll put them off for a while.

I'm glad he backed off at some, but I've no confidence what we have today will last. Zero.

"President Donald Trump told CNN’s Jeff Zeleny that he decided to institute a 90-day pause on new reciprocal tariffs because he thought “people were jumping a little bit out of line. They were getting yippy,” following last week’s tariffs announcement."

Yeah, people don't like losing everything.

Yes, but then some 1-star or colonel will eventually be found who will do it. There is always someone who will just salute and do whatever is asked, no matter how foul.

I'm sorry Jan. Australia and our other good friends and allies do not deserve this treatment. We will do what we can to stop this, although it will take some time.

I don't blame them, nor Europe for taking steps to guarantee its own security. The US has become a unreliable and erratic ally.
