It's like a reflexive tic he has, upset=tarrif time, no understanding of the ramifications required.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
He literally doesn't understand anything unless it's transactional.
(Which is not to say that he does understand it if it is, mind you.)
Didn’t the supreme court rule he couldn’t unilaterally set tarrifs?
They said he didn't have any justification that the ones he set before actually were necessary for national security. He's actually got a possible justification this time, despite how nonsensical it is to use tariffs for this instead of sanctions.
The rule of law only applies to us peons.
He is claiming he will just institute them under another authority, which would take time to work through the courts. It's a broken system.
So, Russia?
First he removed the sanctions on Russian oil to address high gas prices, then he fucks Americans by letting them pay tarrifs on that oil and increase gas prices even more.
Makes perfect sense... if you are Russian or their brain-dead puppet.
It also makes sense if he’s manipulating the stock market.
I wonder who sold off their oil futures yesterday afternoon and bought stocks.
So the US? He said he gave weapons to the protestors, or does the rule only apply starting......now, wait.....now, wait.....now
No foreign army supplied by the US government has ever turned those weapons against the US. 🙃
Remember the Iran-Contra-Affair? America being a big supplier of weapons to Iran? Will Donald issue tariffs against the USA?
Because the other countries supplying Iran are Russia, where there is basically no business with, and China, which is known to best Trump in the Tariff Game.
See! I TOLD you the ONLY way to stop this War that Trump started for No Reason is to have TRUMP leading Us! MORE Tariffs Daddy!
-Republicans but UNIRONICALLY!
Like, all the others got struck down, right? How does he think this will stick?
This guy just keeps saying "ill punch myself again! Dont make me do it! This time in the nuts!"
He's punching all of us in the nuts.
He might... and give me a bit of latitude here, but... he might be an idiot. Just a hunch.
Cornered dog and whatnot
