People are trying to make sense of Trump and the tariffs he has imposed. Basically, he has a government which is not known for intelligence. Not just with the debacle with the Signal App, but other examples include who he has sent to negotiate with Russia.
He has imposed a tariff on an island of penguins. Some are talking about negotiating with him, but this is the man who renegotiated a deal with Mexico and Canada in 2020 and now has decided that they are taking advantage of the USA due to his deal!
As you can see from the first video, there may be method in the madness that he has unleashed, but anyone who thinks that they can trust him to stick to his own deals is a fool.
In summary, I do not think that Trump realises the consequences of what he is imposing on the people of the USA. After all, the USA is not able to produce its own coffee, tea or bananas. Even though many things are assembled in the USA, they still rely on components from abroad which means that the price of electrical goods such as mobile phones will increase.
