Take on Trump's newest tariffs

Trump 'immediately' imposes 25 tariffs on countries that do business with Iran which CNN points out could include China the craziness of this entire concept is that it took a near world stoppage to get Trump to drop the China tariffs from a total of 55% to 45% It was a huge negotiation, with global implications and one which was heralded after weeks of diplomacy. Now he just more than doubled what he had cut in the blink of an eye.. The weirdest thing is that it doesn't even make the top of the fold headline anymore. It's just like a collective shrug because nothing Trump does moves the needle anymore.
