I got to admit I have never seen someone work so hard to set themselves on fire.

There are exactly zero economists on trumps advisory team that would have advised him to do this. It just makes no sense. I can’t understand it. Unless you just hate America and want it to suffer, I can’t figure out how widespread tarrifs were brought up.

I keep looking for respawn why he would do it and there are zero. If you want to try to force companies here to build factories here there are tarrifs that would be far less damaging to Americas interests.

That, and pulling a lot of AD and Military power from Asia to the Middle East. According to Trump, he just got us out of a forever war in the me. Now he is thirsty for Iran?


It just kinda makes me thing there is something on the horizon they aren’t telling us about. But it is simpler to think Trump is just this arrogant.

They come out at the end of April. I'm sure the current administration will have beef with it.
