More like, you want to sell steel here and avoid the tariffs? I will let that deal happen. Then the grift, buy hard in stocks and then after the deal goes through sell off. Finally, lower tarrifs due to the tremendous pressure from US manufacturing.
This entire administration is just one pump and dump operation after another.
