U.S. protectionist practices are poorly understood, and as Americans fail to take even simple steps to apply pressure on the Trump administration, economic instability looms with disastrous potential.
The 50’s were also the McCarthy Era of an anti-Semitic witch hunt. Jews didn’t suffer enough in WWII, McCarthy had to punish them some more. He was a henchman of Hitler.
Tarrifs don’t just fuel inflation and invite recessions.
Tariffs provide the conditions to create/expand black market commerce. They encourage smuggling goods across borders undeclared. They create revenue streams for law breakers and incentivize bad actors to set up networks of conspirators to handle the movement and storage of goods .
Those same networks can be leveraged to move drugs and people.
“It is the inherent impossibility of fulfilling the impossible: restoring that which is irrevocably lost and gone, which can not possibly be restored by any means to mankind.”
Well…they won’t stop trying. This is a reality-show Zombie Apocalypse. These (insert insulting expletive here) idiots will do anything and everything Donnie wants, up to and including the total destruction of our economy, our democracy, and possibly even all life in this planet. They will die to please the Soulless One, and he will never even acknowledge their existence. They only have to succeed once.
Thank you!
great article. I watched the speech and it was exhausting. Sooooo many lies.

This is what happens when you elect an idiot.
The tariffs are so wild, the must be for dramatic effect. The real effects for creating us jobs are tiny, and that ignores the ones we lose because of the increased costs. My piece on the aluminum tariffs shows how small of a benefit we would even get if they stuck - https://open.substack.com/pub/srikaza/p/aluminum-tariffs?r=1w9b37&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

For a second I thought it said rap sheet, not fact sheet. But in the case of Trump, is there a difference?
