Let the toddler put his hand on the stove.

That’s generally how tariffs go. The counter tariffs and trade wars tend to make everyone worse off.

That was part of why the Great Depression was so bad.

For sure but considering Trump has been this obnoxious outlier I hope other countries can do better than our lousy citizenry.

It’s tempting to hope that the pain of these policies will lead to some kind of awakening. Maybe rising food prices, struggling farms or community hardship will force a reckoning. But history shows us that Conservative media & GOP messaging do an incredible job of spinning failures into “attacks”!

If tariffs devastate farmers, the GOP WILL argue that Democrats in Congress are obstructing aid or policy solutions to mitigate the impact of tariffs! They WILL reframe the fallout as a result of Democratic inaction. Our work is to make sure the truth is louder than their lies! Get ready! 📣

Canada should impose tariffs AND close their side of the border.

They're already closing down a lot of immigration pathways. Canada has its own immigration scaremongering problem, unfortunately.

mrdedavis.bsky.social•103 days ago

Ugh, come on Canada.

They're really leaning in to being America's hat 🫤

And it is exactly how this normally works. US implement tariffs on Asian and European products/parts. Their respons will be the same on Made in America products.

This will not be another Wall fairytale where other countries pays for the orange criminals insane ideas

Something tells me he’s not going to get along with President Sheinbaum.

ronickel.bsky.social•103 days ago

being shes a jewish latina probably not.

Is there any chance he might pull a Liz Truss and sink the economy so badly the stock market tries to stop him? They don’t seem to like it when these things get real.
