my bet is he will walk the threat back again and declare it a victory.

saved america again from a looming "trade war".

I will always assume he is not actually going to put any tariffs up until they are actually in effect and so should probably everyone else.

He wants to extend tax cuts on the other hand, and Canada would cut rates to nothing so its exports would get cheaper as CAD falls, which is deflationary for the US.
