Can Donald Trump Win a Trade War?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

86% : Trump loves the very word "tariff," calling it "the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
66% : Trump is hedging his bet even as he makes a big one -- his winning hand is his freedom to declare victory whenever he chooses.
48% : Because Trump controls access to what every other trading nation needs, he can strike a deal any time, assuming wounded pride doesn't cause other countries -- like Canada -- to forget their interests.
47% : But there's a logic to this whirlwind of policy change: Trump knows his clock is running.
47% : Or will enough manufacturing and other jobs come back to America that voters will want to continue Trump's reorientation of the economy away from global trade toward more U.S. production?
42% : Trump can ask for any number of concessions -- from settling fisheries disputes with Canada in America's favor to getting more foreign companies to agree to build factories here -- that other governments will gladly grant to escape from the burden of tariffs.
37% : And while Trump has been quick to grant delays and reprieves, the market is taking his tariffs seriously -- and hard.
26% : Inflation and a poor economy can do to Trump exactly what they did to Joe Biden.
21% : The tariffs are the biggest risk Trump is taking in domestic policy.
