Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Another one! This is St. Pierre et Miquelon. Population: 5819. It now has one of the world’s highest tariffs - 99%. The US imported only $3.5M of its shellfish last yr. BUT the island imports ZERO from the US. So, the idiotic White House formula (imports v exports) couldn’t cope. It spat out 99%.

I tried to figure out what exactly the new China tariff was last night. The White House wasn’t sure, and then told me it was a “pointless aside” to write about that. (It’s 79%)

Trump today: "Great Depression ... would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy." Reagan, 1988: "When Congress passed the... tariff in 1930, we were told it would protect America from foreign competition... The actual result was the Great Depression."

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. By 66%.

Let's zoom in on the "not too much time" here. Does anyone know how long it takes to set up a manufacturing plant? Not just the physical building but the supply chains? hiring? "not much time". Since the time can't be much less than 3 yrs at the absolute minimum ...

George HW Bush marveled at a new kind of grocery scanner in 1992 and was pilloried for being out of touch. Trump — who’s repeatedly said you need to show photo ID buying food — now insists “groceries” is some obscure term he recovered from the distant past and we’ll just move right along.

Obama worked out a deal that stopped Iran's nuclear weapons program but then Trump, of course, ripped it up out of stupid spite, allowing them to get back on track. If Trump is now in a position to "eradicate the threat" it's only because he caused the threat in the first place.
