lisa: when it comes to angela merkel and her book she would say trump always complained there is notican cars in europe, especially germany. you look in new york and there are mercedes everywhere. what could we expect based on what we saw in trump 1.0? isaac: i think the building industry has the president's ear so far. lumber and homebuilders is what i'm focused on. just for mexico and canada in general my sense is there are numerous off ramps to let some pressure out of those conversations, especially since the focus is on usmca renegotiations taking place in the background. i think ultimately that the president wants a grand bargain with china. i think on that front we will see a steady escalation. they will expand their playbook. use other parts of their tariffs to go after different sectoral tariffs to slowly turn up the pressure on china with the hopes of a grand bargain. jonathan: appreciate your thoughts as always. we have said it a few times, they are moving really quickly. we go into week four, they have a lot already. lisa: we have heard about sleeping pods at the doge off
