Of course. He didn't even say he's cancelling the tariffs, this is a "pause", so other countries are still going to continue with their plans to make alternative trade agreements outside of the US.

He found a suitable outgroup to vilify. Fascism 101.
I believe there was also a scene in Sailor Moon where a character was in the bath. In order to make the water opaque the censors decided that red would be the best colour to use, so it looks like she's bathing in blood.
That should have been foreseen. Why didn't they just put something on with a G rating?
These Countries have not retaliated in any way
They very much have. China has just become a convenient "out group" for Trump to demonize.
Just because Trump said 90 days doesn't mean he's actually going to wait 90 days. What Trump says has zero impact on what Trump does. Trump signed the previous trade agreement with Canada and Mexico last time he was in office that he violated with these tariffs.
He just said "90 days" to maximize the market bounce. In two days he'll complain that other countries are not removing their retaliatory tariffs (because real governments value consistency and won't yo-yo their population like that) and I give him two weeks before he puts them back again. A month tops, but that's giving Trump way too much credit.
Give Trump an inch and he'll think he's a ruler
Men on the left are capable of empathy, and caring about people other than themselves. As such they are willing to do something for the benefit of their partner because they are capable of getting joy from their partner's pleasure.
These men literally can't comprehend why someone would care about making their partner happy if they don't directly benefit from it.
Remember that Elon doesn't think people should have empathy, so don't give him any of yours.
What would you have the rest of the world do? Thoughts and prayers?
The plan of those pulling Trump's strings is disruption, chaos, and damage.
Trump's plan is to wear the big boy pants and prove to everyone he's the biggest of boys.
Absolutely, but it's nice to see there are at least some Republicans with basic morals and spines willing to not sell their entire soul to the cult. Might indicate the start of a tipping point of Conservatives breaking away from the more odious policies.
