    It was always about China, other nations were included to disguise this fact

    This doesn’t really make any sense.

    He doesn’t need to disguise anything. He could have just targeted China from the beginning, there wasn’t a point in trying to “disguise” it.

    He’s definitely targeting China, no question about it, but I think this was an insider trading scam. Trump and an inner circle make trades before he announces the tariffs and then make more trades before he cancels it.

    If anything, he’s using China as a smokescreen to cover up the insider trades.
