I've got nothing novel or insightful to add to the tariff news. But I want to state for the record that this is one of the most profoundly stupid things that a U.S. president has ever done. He has shot both the country and himself in the foot for no reason whatsoever.

(1) it’s a hanus breach of authority
(2) it’s a massive economic wound

Perhaps his minder(s) told him to?
But he’s showing he’s king in a way and can be arbitrary like one.
Also, note that the US-collected tariffs on imports to the US end up in a US Treasury pool that can operate as a sort of slush fund to “help” those the White House may want to see helped.
It’s not about economics, it’s about destruction.
