  The tariff situation is so undeniably faulty that even the staunch defenders are waking up to the reality that they can’t spin this one into positivity. It is interesting to see who’s pulling back and who’s trying to lean in even further. I expect the latter group will be pivoting to the “it was just a negotiation tactic!” defenses when this all gets rolled back.

    Just the staunch defenders we pay attention to (i.e. finance / VC / tech Trumpists). His core base believes this is necessary short term pain for long term gain, and you can see their comments in threads here from time to time.
