United States (US) President Donald Trump spoke with reporters late on Friday, further amending statements made by his own White House personnel which were also meant to amend reports that the Trump administration may be kicking the tariff can down the road to March 1.
Trump does know how tariffs work. At least enough to know the consumer ultimately pays.
He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows how to kayfabe. Don’t assume that what pretends to know is what he actually knows.
