    The last time the US did wide sweeping tariffs it plunged a stagnant economy into the great depression. That was 95-96 years ago. Trump does the same thing expecting different results, gets even greater depression.

    It’s funny because you have every expert known to man saying “this will be devastating for the economy” and no one listened. Now everyone’s 401k evaporates and they care all of a sudden. They were told this would happen and no one cared.

        And our reliance on a complex global economic/ trade system is far higher today. We have a LOT more to lose.

        I would assume not. At this point he could drive the car into a volcano and they would make up reasons about why it was actually a good thing.

        Is what it is.
