The "hard deadline" Trump admin can't stop softening—they delayed tariffs twice since April, then Trump said Aug X was "firm but not XXX% firm" hours before Lutnick's CNBC claim. Deadlines melt faster than MAGA merch in a heatwave.  

July 7's executive order marked the SECOND delay for these Liberation Day tariffs, with letters to 20+ nations explicitly allowing rate changes based on "relationship." Treasury's $300B revenue fantasy ignores that tariffs are taxes WE pay—40% on Myanmar goods means XX% pricier imports. Trump's 2025 quote claims tariffs prevent peril, but his own casino-level flip-flopping creates market chaos.  

We’ve seen this movie: Trump’s 2017 steel tariffs cost 75K jobs. Now he’s rerunning the disaster as tragic farce. Tariffs aren’t salvation—they’re surrender notes from a flailing admin.
