I mean yeah but if Trump had set the tariffs at higher then that would've been worse than the current tariff deal.
Zero tariffs would've been best or maintaining the tariffs that were there before. But still 15% is better than 30%.
You go your whole life not getting punched in the face, then one day I punch you in the face and tell you I’m going to punch you in the face every day. Then I tell you unless you make a deal with me I’m going to punch you in the face and kick you in the balls. Now, getting kicked in the boys is not fun, but you should still be mad at me for punching you in the face in the first place.
Right but getting hit twice is still worse than getting hit once. It sucks but if the alternative without a deal is being hit twice, then that's at least better than no deal
