    At this point, I'd take on the South Korean strategy from the first term. Find some product with an anti-dumping quota that the US will never be able to meet. Raise the quota. Frame it as: "You know what, sir, you are right, we really should have let you import more US produced bananas. You caught us. You really are a trade genius." Hope that is enough to stop the stupid. You can't make a substantive deal with these buffoons. The Japanese already tried that twice and the Trump folks reneged both times.

    Close to impossible to figure out what Trump wants. Best I can come up with is he's trying to extort China into buying $5-10 billion worth of his Trump Coin cryptocurrency. Maybe he's willing to let them balance it aith some Melania Coin.

    Well, if YouTube tariffs are working fine, that is enough for me.
