The last time the US set tariffs this high, it was 1930 -- and it sparked a global trade war that caused international trade to PLUMMET.

They don’t need us as customers or suppliers.
The US will be left behind.
From having an economy that was the envy of the world to becoming North Korea in less than 3 months.
It’s the eternal question, and the eternal answer is:
The oligarchs, of course.
Trump’s billionaire cronies are very important to him, and the most important one of them all is Vladimir Putin.
The world will never trust us again, and I don’t blame them.
I'm hugging my dog!
Paint a picture of what it could be like if there were no billionaires.
Hegel.
There’s lots of former allies who won’t fold. Going to be ugly but 🇺🇸’s going to take biggest hit.
There’s trillions of 🇺🇸 debt held by nations all over the world… if there was a consensus to dump it…
*fly in the ointment - we’re not all as evil

We had the best economy in the world two months ago. If this is not intentional, I don’t know what is. Why is this admin trying to kill us?
He has succeeded.

In other words, he is the typical MAGA moron.
In fact, weeks ago.
For those of us raised by those who survived the Depression & fought in WWII.

On top of that people couldn't even get drunk until the repeal of prohibition.
I bet they thought they were living in the stupidest timeline as well
Not looking forward to the Great Depression 2.0
It will be disruptive, but world trade will survive without the USA
this will be an economic calamity made by Donald J Trump
The Great Depression, as we call this period, was triggered by bank runs & insolvency.
Tariffs in response didn't help, but it's false to say US tariffs caused all the suffering.
Muted now, because you're a liar.
So all you boomers may be dead by the time the economy recovers.
The Felon in-Chief wants to make sure the MSM is focusing on the chaotic economy, not his partnership with Russia, to sell America down the river.

Yeah, that's one of the things my ancestors had to do back then when the depression hit. Good times!
Tariffs can and have been used to shift the country's focus from imports to domestic production. To rebuild US manufacturing would be wonderful. But I dunno if Trusk knows it, but for that to work? US Biz had to be ramped up and 1000% behind it; yesterday...
Of course, none of this is real. All they know about tariffs: they're another way to steal American worker's money.

What a lot of Pearl Harbor Clutching.

Please target your retaliatory tariffs and other responses towards Trump properties, Musk businesses, major Trump/MAGA/NRA/GOP donors and towards Red State industries. Buy from and visit Blue States like Hawaii.
Please repost.
Did it work? NO!
What it did do is kneecap America and the world for the next TEN years. The great depression.
It paved the way for Hitler and all the horrors that came with him.
But Elon had to dismantled all the regulatory functions of government first. The dots connect.
