Now they will try to modify in Congress what TSF wanted to do with targeted instead of radical massive tariffs and call it a victory, successfully controlling’ TSF’s worst impulses.

What if the self described brilliant TSF balks? Can he do an executive order with his idiot but efficiently evil WH backers (like S. Miller)? Can he thwart congressional republicans efforts to tone him down? What then?

There are no brakes now, not really. And everyone who has ever come into his orbit has learned that, often the hard way.

He feels invincible now and if he acts on that we are F**ked!
