the single biggest own goal in the history of the connected global economy

NEW: The CEOs of three of the nation's biggest retailers — Walmart, Target and Home Depot — privately warned Trump this week that his tariffs could disrupt supply chains, raise prices and empty shelves, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

just wait, the Mad King will change his mind next week and we’ll get to go thru ANOTHER chapter of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” as they justify the bs on Fox

What I find amazing is that there are still enough people willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is just stubborn and believes everything will fall in place as he wants it to like greased Fox News hosts.
An equally likely explanation is that he is deliberately tanking everything.

He actually embolden China to become a super power. They had a plan, but since trump flinch they can push forward.

I feel a little conflicted here— I no longer shop at any of those stores for various reasons, but basically because they are bad companies. I know impacts are far broader than these three, but frankly wouldn’t mind if these 3 went under!

you do not have to hand it to neolibs, but i have to grudgingly accept the premise that free trade and globalization do actually act as a damper on authoritarianism, because the only thing stopping Trump from making things even worse is a lot of his billionaire friends going "ok but could u not??"

The second biggest own goal YET. As I keep having to remind myself, we're only 90 days into this thing.

I love that it was THIS WEEK that they warned him, as if this wasn't something that was known the moment he was sworn in.

Ye Gods, not another "tone shift", i can't take these people's abject stupidity anymore. Trump is deliberately destroying us because Putin told him he'd release pictures of him fucking little kids if he doesn't. Period. Full stop.
