No he definitely learned it years ago, but he’s a simple boy, he can’t hold too many concepts in his head. It’s mostly just rape, fraud, and now tariffs

Did you really just forget his entire first presidency?

It also feels like he means his „100% tariff“ takes all the money.

'Trade wars are easy to win'

Ngl, hes an accelerationists wet dream

Yeah, Trump ending the dollar as the reserve currency would be a fitting legacy.

Yeah it would be extremely funny (and probably bad) if he accidentally own-goal'ed this.

He believes they can't raise their own tariffs in turn. That's the real danger here. Not Americans paying double for some knock off plastic widget on Temu, but American exporters running into an equivalent tariff wall trying to import cars and computers and pork shoulders into China.

He's taking a guillotine to American global logistics

Yup. The first Trump presidency is why North Korea is blowing up roads and sending weapons and military units to Russia. Just read the open letter Kim Jong-Un sent to Trump after their Infamous meeting. Kim essentially called Trump a lier and that Kim wouldn't be made the fool again. Trump spent less than 12 hours with Kim and destroyed any possibility of reunification of Korea. Dude is a cancer

That's the plan.

Like a 7yo who has learned that people can be sued.

"I'll TARIFF YOU!"

It's going to be fun when americans understands this.

The thing is, they have no real reason to care about the threat of a tariff. It makes domestic US prices increase. For a lot of things, there isn't the ability to start making it domestically in a timely fashion, so either demand drops for a bit or if it's something vital, then the producer never even notices.

It's threatening the shoe store by waving a chainsaw at your legs. Sure they'll have some reduced sales, but you're mostly hurting yourself.
