The word your redneck, under-educated self is groping for is "ambiguity".

All of the things that Trump claims he GOT because of the threat of
tariffs were already agreed upon between the Canadian government and the
Biden administration.
'A similar situation may be playing out with some of the concessions
announced from Americaâs northern neighbor. While Trump said Canada had
agreed to take a more aggressive posture on its U.S. border in exchange
for a suspension of tariffs, Canadaâs parliament had already passed a
new border security and drug interdiction bill in December. Trudeau also
agreed to appoint a border czar and designate drug cartels as terrorist
groups.'

He didn't have to threaten.
He just got it done without threats.
Did you think I wouldn't notice that you deliberately misread the
meaning of my earlier statement?
