He’s insane and dumb so it’s hard to guess what his motivations are. You can sort of see the goal but imho it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t reach his goal, he’ll just lie and say he did. So, he thinks he can pressure corporations and countries to give him favorable deals. Even if that doesn’t happen, he can say that they did, back off the tariffs, and claim that he made the prices go down.
What is harder for an embarrassing amount of US voters to understand is this is a short-sighted and narcissistic move even if it works (it won’t.)
