Hey fellow DUers,

Will the shit hit the fan?

What do you think

Why befoul it with their ilk?

There are more efficient, less expensive ways of handling these people than space travel.

He just does not call them taxes.

Fox had an elderly friend convinced that China was paying for the tariffs in Trump's first term.

Just keep hoping more and more foreigners individually boycott everything American and as that percolates through the US economy without nation states having to resort to tariffs, the result of Trump's bullying will quickly start hitting his base in rural, ag and red states and be noticed by GOP legislators who unlike Trump have future elections to worry about and an electorate growing quickly unhappy with the nonsense that is costing them their livelihood.

The markets will tank.

50/50 chance he'll walk some of them back, only to redo them in a few weeks.

Or maybe he chickens out and punts again.

I’d say it’s 50/50.
