True, but do you think a resolution just before the election (i.e. 4-5 months before) would lead to a measurable downstream impact on Michigan's blue collars that they would vote for him? An earlier resolution, by Christmas, would have sufficient time to stabilize the markets and supply chains for election day.

Precisely. Trump's latest tariffs and tirades are signalling to me that he is getting frustrated and desperate to reach a deal so that he will have ample time to campaign with a recovering and growing economy.
