The choice to remove his tariff. To clarify I'm not saying there's an argument it's a good thing, I'm saying I can see his (self-interested) logic.

Of course I also understand people aren't able to look at his ideas yet, as post election hatred is still high, and should continue as such as he is a hyper capitalist willing to sell America to internal fascists (and probably some parts of it to external fascists too).
