    What some countries don’t seem to realize is that it’s a bluff on the part of the orange failed abortion. He knows that he can’t really sustain tariffs because prices would really rise, and a massive recession would kick in, so he bluffs by delaying the dates.

    Also, don’t forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It’s the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.

      Pretty sure this is why he is fucking over federal aid for disasters. Hurricane wipes out a bunch of “poor” houses on the south-east seaboard, his billionaire buddies buy up the properties for pennies on the dollar, and then Trump is going to re-instate disaster aid to help clean up affected areas while taking about how the coast used to look so beautiful, and it’s Biden’s fault that all those people got forced out of their homes. Wealth transfer complete, and we even pick up the bill for rebuilding all the infrastructure on for the billionaires.
