The thing is no matter how this plays out Trump will claim a win.

A few scenarios and how Trump wins:

1)Impose tariffs, nothing changes at the border
Result: Prices go up, people pay more, and the same number of people cross into the US from Mexico/Canada
Trump wins by: Just saying "Prices are down, and we fixed the border, and Mexico and Canada are paying the tariffs"
It works because: Too many people are dumb and will hang on Trumps words as gospel and argue to their death that he's telling the truth, because they don't actually care to look at numbers that are readily available to them

2) Don't impose tariffs, Canada and Mexico don't do anything and nothing changes at the border
Result: Prices don't change, and the same number of people cross into the US from Mexico/Canada
Trump wins by: Just saying "Prices are down, and we fixed the border, and Mexico and Canada did everything we asked"
It works because: Too many people are dumb and will hang on Trumps words as gospel and argue to their death that he's telling the truth, because they don't actually care to look at numbers that are readily available to them

We should all know by now that what Trump does, or even what he said prior to whatever he just said, doesn't matter to most of the people who voted for him. He'll tell them that whatever he did was a great success, and next week, he'll deny doing it, and how not doing it was a great success.

The results don't matter to those people, the lie that Donald tells them is their reality.

He's petty, he's a liar, and 70 million people love him for it. That's what makes him dangerous. He can be as petty as he wants, and even if it hurts all of those 70 million people, it won't matter because he'll tell them, they are better off, and if they aren't it's not his fault anyway, and they'll lap it all up.
