The Mexico tariff came out of nowhere and, predictably, the stock market seems to hate it.

I think Trump will likely win in 2020 unless the market tanks. Not sure what Trump is up to here. Is he ignoring his economic advisors?

As a former importer from Mexico, I hate the tariffs. I have no idea what his advisors are are saying to him.

BUT, I think he is is using the tariffs as a big stick to get to what he really wants., not as a goal. The tariffs are not what he wants. They are tools to get what he wants. When he gets what he wants from China and Mexico, the tariffs go away and the stock market comes back.
