If Trump is talking about tariffs on exports, we are in for a second Great Depression.

If that's what he really means, this is absolutely nightmarish.

This reads like a threat lol

At what point do we accept the obvious that he's purposefully destroying the country?

Tariff on imports is a tariff on exports, any country will just implement reciprocal tariffs on us if we tariff them.

Yeah, but a normal protectionist regimes at least have the sense to let people from the other country write their name on the bill.

Feels like I am back in the USSR, will we need papers to leave the country too?

He's talking about imports obviously. Hope your farmers can cope without potash.

Autarky in the 21st Century: Maybe J.D. Vance wasn’t wrong in comparing him to a certain Austrian painter. 😏
