Yeah, sure, NOW! Old orange has been talking about them for months and there was all kinds of positive spin from the MAGA crowd. It's only now that he's actually gone and done the thing and the consequences are already showing that people are saying "wait a minute..."

My theory is many people who voted for him, didn’t think he would actually do everything he said he was going to do, since he has a reputation for not following through with his promises. This time is way different. He actually appears to be doing what he says he’s going to do. That’s a major change from his behavior last term.

Trump is levying a 35% tariff on the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands. No humans present, and also no clarification by the administration on who exactly is being taxed here ... Trouble is, Trump is still popular. This pain will filter through the economy, but one would expect, it will filter through slowly. It may take 6 months, even 12 before it will really turn republican voters against Trump due to personal hardship.
