apparently that’s how Bessent broke through to him - emphasized a trade war with China as politically popular and the rest of it not and turned the Orange Don’s attention entirely on China
My point was more: we do not really know. Policy decisions are entirely opaque right now. Decisions are made haphazardly and whether or not there is follow through is unknowable by anyone, arguably even by insiders.

Yeah, Trump needs to be convinced that he's winning.
I’d like the pressure on him to give Democrats what they want count as winning.
If that’s the case, sign me up please.

Forced to guess that's what I would say too.
