Easy. Start hunting the rest of them too.

Oh yeah! That'll help protect US intellectual properties!
Medicine prices, right… I looked up the asthma inhaler I take, and it’s US$180 or so in the States. Now, I get free prescriptions, but ignoring the NHS flat-rate prescription cost of £9.90 (=US$13.05) for a second, the same inhaler would cost in the £50 range if acquired via a private prescription, which is US$66. That’s almost a third of the US price. I don’t know what specific mechanisms keeps the price that much lower in the UK, but there’s definitely seems to be price fixing and inflation in going on in the States. Of course, not that I trust that Trump not to make things worse with whatever ‘intervention’ his addled brain deems fit to enact.
Welp...he blinked.

Axaday, my dude... PLEASE use an emoji or two: sarcasm does not come across in plain text.
Trump always backs down when someone he can't bully pushes back. If he can't buy them off, sic goons on them, or abuse the legal system to do his dirty work for him, he caves. Yet somehow, his cult thinks he's some iron-willed pinnacle of masculinity. I'm kinda glad I'll never understand.
I REALLY tried to satirically write a "Trump-ian response" to that...but it just made my brain hurt.
Assuming tariffs don't go back up after 90 days, he's going to spin it as him "succeeding in bringing down tariffs". Basically, take credit for fixing a problem he made in the first damned place.
And the brainwashed masses that adore him will eat that garbage up.
And the fun part is, even with this 'freeze' we're still paying 20% more. Tariffs are down from the Trump high of 145% to 30, but before this tariffs were a mere 10%.
And they still haven't put back de minimus.
Trump blinked, got nothing, and still manages to hug us.

I don't expect the de minimus to come back. It was really only useful if you like shopping on those "roll the dice on whether it's a scam or not" websites, not that I expect anything Trump does to kill those off. People are too used to them and will gladly pay 90% of retail price instead of 30% on things that are still just as likely to be scams.
gee; i wonder why THEY get in so easily...

They actually will: but both trump and republicans need to be removed for it to happen. The next person will be in a big damned hurry to undo everything trump did, if only to prove to the world that the US isn't entirely insane.
Not only that. He did so on the anniversary of the day that Fred Rogers addressed Congress in 1969 to save PBS. This is next-level trolling.
Saudi Arabia rolls out customized mobile McDonald's for Trump visit
As the Saudis work to impress Trump during his trip to Riyadh this week, they're focusing on even the smallest details—like his fondness for the Golden Arches.

I hate this world and EVERYTHING IN IT.
It's probably better quality than our McDonald's.
Not setting a high bar.
Then again, will that actually appeal to Trump? He's the type that orders his steak very well done and then drowns it in ketchup, he doesn't exactly have a refined palette.
