Update: Tangerine 2.0 Blinks; Tries To Walk Back Canada's "Misunderstanding" -- Mexico Agrees To Cooperate On Fentanyl Interdiction: No Tariffs!

This is precious. White House flaks are now saying that the Canadians "misunderstood" Mr. Trump's Saturday orders. He's trying to say -- just as with the flip-flopped "Freeze" -- people just. don't. get. him. [This is not some goofy nightclub act. My God.]

The people at 1600 Penn. were clear: they launched a trade war. Canada responded. Tangerine is. . . a malign moron, nothing more.

Separately, Mexico has "agreed" to do what it was already doing with Mr. Biden's cooperation, 2021 to 2024. And Tangerine has suspended those tariffs. This is a complete clown show -- not governance, at all. Here's the latest:

. . ."Canadians appear to have misunderstood the plain language of the executive order and they're interpreting it as a trade war," Hassett added. . . .

[T]he president told reporters on Sunday they "have to balance out their trade, number one. . . ."

What is not clear about that, man? You started a silly war. Now you are trying to say. . . "I was just. . . kidding". That is. . . cra-cra.

And. . . almost trivially -- Mr. Shumate's underlings are getting shellacked in DC by the able USDC Judge AliKhan, on the Freeze (I am listening, live to the audio broadcast -- but not gonna' do a line by line liveblog -- its just too clear that Tangerine 2.0, and the OMB lose here). This will end in a preliminary injunction, later today or tomorrow. What a silly cha-cha.
