I'm setting up a gofundme for Tesco shareholders. Only £2.5bn-ish profit this year. Please give generously. Every little helps.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
