James, you don’t have to come and hear and try and defend Trump just because it’s what you think you’re expected to do. If any other leader of one of the other major counties of the world introduced tariffs in the way Trump has they’d be labelled mad, but, because of who it is, people just shrug their shoulders and mutter “it’s just Trump being Trump”.
