We’re tanking your retirement fund. But not to worry, this paves the way for a glorious future where your poorly educated and uninsured children get minimum wage jobs putting tiny screws into iPhones.
What's the goal again?
Free trade?
Permanent tariffs?
Please find the courage to pick a lane.

The plan is to play with money like it's not yours. Up the ante and then fold when the other country sees it and raises.

Already told you, to end the neoliberal world order

The only question would be is he using ChatGPT or Grok to help him.
Trump thinks that when we exchange money for goods in another country, we get ripped off because they have our money
Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me
It's ending the USA's position as the world's leading superpower, and regressing it back to the glorious 19th century. You know when it was just a regional power ruled by a tiny elite, waging genocidal and colonial wars against its neighbors and women couldn't vote. Also slaves.
Madagascar produces ~70% of the world's vanilla
Does the US trade deficit with Madagascar mean it's ripping us off, or does it mean we're a much bigger country (1/10th the size of the US) with a much bigger budget for its main export than it has for imports period?
https://www.eater.com/24401316/trump...shop-interviewOZ: Working in es means that you’re uniquely a global company. Our business is built on long-term partnerships with these farmers based on es that have a unique terroir and history in these regions, and that can’t be replaced. Nobody wants an Herbes de Provence that’s domestically grown in the U.S. The whole point is that it’s built in Provence, based on their soil and climate and recipe and tradition, and that’s true across all of our es.
The irony here is that there is no domestic e industry to protect in the U.S. We do work with as many domestic e farmers as we can, getting chile and garlic and [working with] the father and daughter company that brings salt out of the earth in upstate New York. But there is no domestic cinnamon industry, there is no domestic in industry. This stuff is, by default, global and is not from the U.S. We’re paying a lot more to do things that we can’t switch to another place.

Trump is going to have to back off on the 50% tariff acceleration on China -- we're in no shape to completely decouple from its economy
