I'm convinced the entire reason Trump is so obsessed with tariffs is he doesn't need congressional support. It's just a power grab. Hopefully someone knocks some sense into him before he follows through, but if not, I'll enjoy seeing leopards eating people's faces at least.

Of course, people always like to turn the knob they have the most control over. It's also the easiest way to pass yourself off as being a protectionist. Right now I think everyone is in speculation mode. I think everyone has forgotten 2016-2020 Trump speaks in massive exaggerations and hyperbole. The reality of what happens is likely to be much different than all this anticipation. The fact is the only one making a profit off of all of this talk is the news outlets that everyone is consuming incessantly.
