The dimwit dems NEED these tariffs.  Trump has been a businessman for more than 50+ years and I think he knows what he's doing.  I trust him to make the right decisions for our country, Elon or no Elon.  Trump is a damned good negotiator and I trust him to do what's best for the USA.  I sure as hell trust HIM more than I trusted stupidass biden and his robotic assministration who made all of his decisions for him.  That's why we got fucked so bad and didn't even get to smile about it.

"The entire world is melting down over Donald Trump’s tariffs, and as I don’t have powerfully insightful thoughts on this topic, I offer you an open thread instead. My planned piece for today – on the schoolmarm menace – can wait until tomorrow.Investors spent the weekend cultivating a panic over the impending trade war, such that stock markets opened sharply down this morning and continued mostly to crash as the day wore on. They did recover briefly in the United States, on the strength of fake news that Trump was on the verge of delaying his tariffs for 90 days – but the pessimism returned after the White House denied all such rumours. For the moment anyway, Trump is holding firm. As everybody knows, China responded to Trump’s Liberation Day campaign by retaliating with their own 34% tariffs on American imports. Trump has now responded with a threat to impose additional tariffs of 50% on Chinese imports, unless the Chinese withdraw their 34% tariffs, which they are probably not going to do:   That seems bad.In better news, the EU Commission have responded with unusual sanity. Although they are alleged to be preparing very vicious and painful “countermeasures” in back rooms to punish the Americans for their tariffs on imports, Ursula von der Leyen opened with an offer to drop all tariffs on “industrial goods” if the United States promises to do the same. I hope the United States can accept this deal, perhaps after ensuring that “industrial goods” are defined as widely as possible, and pushing harder for the abolition of the non-tariff trade barriers that the Trump administration has complained about – many of which are artefacts of European safeteyism and (especially) Green climate hysteria.Anyway, I’m eager to hear what you make of all of this."
