Could have hit a real home run if they waited 3 days to start it.

    It takes time to write up all the instructions on what's covered, the rates, and get more people assigned to enforcing and collecting it.

    Announcing and then immediately enforcing tariffs turns any sort of commerce with the countries involved into an absolute shit show for the buyer and seller.
