29. Yes to all those points. In tRump's last tariff round against Canada in 2018, Canada targetted Republican districts

And we sent a woman (Christia Freeland) with Trudeau when they negotiated NAFTA 2.0 successfully. So successfully that tRump does not like the results of his treaty and is attempting to shit on Freeland because she is a tough woman who has a chance of becoming Prime Minister this year.

Canada targeted things like bourbon (Kentucky). The tariffs didn't last long, partly because of the targeting and partly because tRump was using it as a negotiating tactic.

This time around, I think tRump is more serious and stupid enough to believe his own gaslighting about tariffs. American consumers will pay, oligarchs will get richer, and the economy might recede or depress.
