Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Funds (think mutual funds and ETFs) domiciled outside the U.S. are selling a large amount of US stocks. In other words, they are losing confidence in the US economic policy and system. Concerning for many reasons.

Prices of goods are going to rise a lot soon. If there is something you need to buy that is produced outside the US and can be easily stored, then you should buy it. Shoes, clothes, auto parts, and China products. This assumes that firms haven’t started raising prices already or aren’t sold out.

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely gotta let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

If we threw tea into Boston harbor to avoid paying British levies, what seems appropriate in response to universal tariffs from Dumpster? Asking for everyone who doesn’t want to pay more in taxes.
