And by then Republicans and Democrats will be pointing fingers at the incompetency of the government, which then leads to the incompetency of the electorate which half will deny and blame the system being against them, which leads to more f

Sure but Trump also doesn't support free trade, doesn't believe in it, and doesn't at all care about the fallout from ending it. The Congress legally can revoke delegation of its tariff/tax power. But the political cost

I'm not surprised. I think they're aware Trump is willing bulldoze them. They understand what it means if Trump ignores a court order. That's why Robert's granted the stay today in the Garcia case (also related to El Sal

It's too late, the American age is finished. Even if the tariffs are reversed, the world knows we're indecisive chaos monkies. Trump once is a mistake. There's zero plausible deniability for a second round. We are getting exa

We don't actually know if Trump's tariff strategy is Stephen Miran's strategy, nor do we know what Stephen Miran thinks of the strategy. What we do know is that Trump disproportionately attacks people who criticize him, withh

Supposedly they have a seasoned economic expert on staff, Stephen Miran. Is this guy a kook? It wouldn't surprise me, Trump had Laura Loomer at the White House and 1/2 an hour later three members of the National Secure Council had

Tariffs may not even last 4 months. Trump demanded Powell reduce interest rates, the FRB declined. The might be Trump's way of forcing the Fed to reduce interest rates, by inducing a recession with massive inflation. And then Trump tak

Uhh... Whether you're a citizen isn't a factor. There's no federal sales tax, although these tariffs act as an import tax that will increase the wholesale costs. And state sales taxes don't apply to imports or wholesale

The cost to move these industries to the U.S. exceeds the cost of these tariffs. The market will pass the cost of what are import taxes to the American consumer, resulting in inflation. True, the shareholders will take a pay cut too, becaus
