    Just a reminder that it’s illegal for Trump to unilaterally impose these tariffs without congressional approval. Again. Again.

      Yep. It’s almost as if he is doing everything our enemies would want, but all the Murc’s Law Media dipshits are out there trying to scold everyone on “civility” and “conspiracy theories” whenever any mention of Russia is made…even declaring that it’s a “hoax”, LOL.

    Honestly at this point other countries need to bite the bullet and issue total embargos on American goods, services, and flights IMO. At least until Trump is dead or out of power.

    No deal? But I thought trump was a deal guy. I’m actually pretty sure that he claims to have written a book about the deal.

      He’s always talking about “deals” like he was ever really good at any of this, even on the bush-league level that he spent his life in.

      People keep forgetting that he just played a businessman on a game show he was given. His opinion of himself as some super-bigly deal-makin’ businessman is pure myth, and no one else should buy into his fantasy about himself.

    They should fight fire with fire. Do double of all the tariffs the US does and don’t ever give them up ever. Don’t take any concession, as any time anyone does, Trump does the Goofy meme and says: “I’ll fucking do it again”. There’s no talking to these people, they will only respond to pressure. Tariffs can be renegotiated after the next elections and my suggestion would be for those elections to be held sooner than planned. Trump needs to go, that’s the only way for anything to ever be fixed.

    Seems to me that with inflation being the main economic concern an embargo of key products would be more effective. Stop selling the US food or lumber.
