Even if this plan succeeds, it’s not like the countries you just tariffed are just going to allow American exports into their markets. It will shrink the whole economy AND cause inflation at the same time. Economics fear this state for a reason.

the US president reconfirming his commitment to a comprehensive tariff regime he argues will be “the greatest thing we’ve ever done as a country”.

I will never understand how Americans developed a taste for his constant hyperbolic bullshit.

Really? Tariffs? Rehashing pre-WW1 economics theories is the greatest thing America has ever done? Greater than abolishing slavery? Greater than the civil rights act? Greater than the moon landings? Greater than the invention of the transistor?

Trump is at a point where nobody bats an eye to this. Trying to hold him accountable for literally anything he says is futile, and half the country things that quality is a good thing and they enable it.

Please tell me how you’re a good person as you vainly paint Americans as the “victims” in this LOL

Good. Americans deserve this.

Congress can revoke his “emergency” powers to do this whenever they want. They won’t though, because most Americans are so out of touch that they don’t know that. The final destination of “I don’t do politics” being the dominant view.

3 percent of kids dead is a small price to pay for Texans to not have to reevaluate how they make decisions.
