However, every MAGA moron in my neighborhood are crowing the exact opposite.

And they didn’t like my observation that this was stupid and you idiots are going to lose very shortly as everyone will begin to diversify from us markets and imports due to this.

    The likely conclusion that other governments will draw is that they can parry away tariff threats by giving the US the appearance of a victory.

    The appearance of winning being more important than beneficial policy… You know what that sounds like?

    Russia.

      It also sounds like Trump and Musk’s whole lives.

      Everything has been about appearances, each time they change their appearance to attract new followers, some cracks appear in the facade. That’s how Musk went from a left-wing darling saving the environment to a Trump sycophant hated by the left.

    It looks like the Canada Mexico tariffs were too distract from musk taking over the government.

      It will be a constant game of distraction

      Here look at the pretty flowers, the cards in my hand, or the flaming bowling pins I’m juggling

      While reaching around to steal your wallet.

      The distractions will just get more and more elaborate over time.

    Id not be upset with them if they held their ground as a means of stabilizing his lunacy.
