I think we know where this is headed

Having seen how Trump operates for nearly a decade I have a good idea where this tariff thing is going. First he creates chaos that demands a solution that only he can provide. Then he garners some minor concessions from the other countries that will be touted as major victories for America. Tariffs are removed or lessened, the stock market is relieved and rebounds and the average American forgets all of this happened in a year or 2. The last part is just a guess but how he handles this is 100% what I expect.

1. It ws always extortion.

2. I think you're right that this was what he planned, but I also think he went too far this time.

China is in deep shit over this and won't play their part. The whole world is unloading our debt, which will be a crisis as soon as people notice it's happening, the travel industry is already destroyed and everyone is making trade agreements that exclude us because they're a lot smarter than we are and won't put up with this moron.

I think we've gone over the edge but we haven't noticed it yet.

3. What we had going for us was the dollar being the world's

Go to currency 💴

That’s over now

I really hope we are both mistaken

6. Yep. That too.

4. I'm not aware of any concessions from other countries

5. I think Heather Cox Richardson is right. He wants the country to collapse.

He will then be able to get rid of all the “deep state” and any liberal ideals this country has. Why else do you think he put all these idiots in his cabinet and agencies???

7. Stock market is relieved and rebounds, I'm all

for that.
