Sadly we just don’t know how effective his strategy has been. I could see him winning again or getting completely obliterated.

It's not the president who's the putz. He's just trying to save face by saying his tariff threat brought about the agreement. The real putzes are his base of followers who just go along with his bs.
Too many voters were simply complacent in 2016. As country, we have the memory of a goldfish, so I will actually be surprised at a very high turnout in general. Sadly it’s fingers crossed.
Con man
Two types of Trump supporters.:
Those that are getting conned.
Those that think they are ok in the con.

There is something else every Dem should be well aware of... a vast majority of trumpers are scared to death of a commie extremest liberal - for which in their opinion any moderate democrat candidate would qualify

Trumpers are also frightened of centrist-Republicans if they do not grovel to Trump. Trumpers are a tiny breed.

If they think they are ok with the con, then they have been conned.
These are the two types of Trump supporters:
1) JUST Stupid.
2) Racist.
I meant to say they think they are in on the con.
Trump is conning the public on their behalf.
The tariff threat sent stocks down.
The announcement of this fake deal will send stocks back up.
If you know he will tweet these things and sell and buy at the right time, you make some money on a net zero gain.

Those who depend on government handouts.
Those who want to destroy the moral values of America.
Interesting insight into how Trump's brain works:

He believes that if he doesn't respond to criticism it will be accepted as being true. But he doesn't defend himself by explaining what is incorrect about the criticism. Instead he insults people. If the guy begged to be on Trump's moranic T.V. show, which probably isn't true, he must obviously be lying. He's like a little kid.

Ah...got it. Regarding the stocks thing...yeah, it's pretty crazy. I don't need/want to try to make money that way these days, but it would be interesting to see what would happen if you bought on the down when he talks tariffs.

Timing is always difficult, he has both killed mkt momentum and sparked it.. the mkt is also selective about what to focus on. But the more important factor here is that trump is openly a mkt manipulator. Take that into account plus his continued business interests and rich appointees and it has to be crystal fkn clear what he stands to gain from abusing his power. An easy example comes to mind, Wilbur Ross.. has done pretty well on his trades and their timing has been so well synchronized with trump’s announcements.
Yeah, he doesn’t want to do any work, his position is just another chance to line his pockets.

Wilbur Ross is the Secretary of Commerce and there were several articles last year accusing him of insider trading.
There are so many stories and news cycles that come and go in this presidency that many get overlooked.
Ross is another Trump swamp creature.

Oh yeah, but of course Trump doesn’t gain a penny from any of this, he’s Robin Hood!
