What Cheeto gets out of the uncertainty he creates
Uncertainty is exactly what Trump relishes about his tariff powers. Everyone is at the mercy of his announcements, which can change at any time, so business executives and foreign leaders have to hang on his every word and constantly come to him begging for relief. If he provided “clarity” by committing to a specific and unchanging tariff policy, he’d be giving up both leverage and attention, two of the things he likes most.
