1. For those that still don't understand the meaning of 3D chess. Example: "But I keep hearing how we’re pushing NAFTA, we want it done. There’s no timeline. There’s no timeline. Now, in the meantime, nobody is moving into Mexico. Because as long as NAFTA is in flux,

2. NO COMPANY IS GOING TO SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS TO BUILD AN AUTOMOBILE PLANT (in Mexico or Canada)."

Now does it make sense? Need more?

3. "So I say this — I’ve told it to the Mexicans: We can negotiate forever. Because as long as we have this negotiation going, nobody is going to build billion-dollar plants in Mexico, which is what they’ve been doing a lot."

Still having trouble?

4. "They have taken our auto industry by the throat. And so many jobs have been lost, so many massive plants have been built in Mexico. Top-of-the-line stuff. But it’s not happening now, & they’re coming back. Chrysler has moved back; a lot of them have moved back."
Clearer now?

5. Okay last example: China "Again, we’re doing really well with China. I think we’re having some great discussions, and we’ll see what happens. We put a $50 billion tariff on, and then we put $100 billion tariff on. And, you know, at a certain point, they run out of bullets."

6. "Remember what I said: When you’re $500 billion down, you can’t lose a trade war. And I won’t call it a trade war because it’s really a trade negotiation. But nobody ever negotiated from our side."

7. And thus ends the lesson in 3D chess moves by the President of the United States. He sees what others don't see.
