tRump is determined to retain and wield tariff power. He thinks it's his legacy to reform US government financing and US manufacturing and usher in a "Golden Age".

Him escalating on China by setting the tariff at 104% with a 24 hour deadline is more proof he wants and likes the power.

His mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt shooting down a rumour of a 90 day tariff suspension, calling it "fake news" (which it might have been), is confirmatory.

He has an Oval Office media event later this afternoon, I hear.
