74. Trump will not impose tariffs. The stupid stuff he will do will not impact the economy.

He will SAY he is imposing tariffs so he can lower taxes on billionaires (by raising all that money on tariffs). Or bring other countries to heel and do his bidding. Remember his phone call with the president of Mexico this last week. Trump bragged that he got her to agree to stop immigrants and drugs from going into the US. She reports that she did no such thing.

His big promise in 2016 was to build the wall. He didn't build the wall. He can't even say he built the wall because then how can be blame everything on illegals? Why doesn't he build the wall now? Because he'd have to admit he didn't do it the first time. His tangled web.

There will be no mass deportation. A few will be deported to much media fanfare and he'll make it sound like he deported them all. But he can't do tariffs or mass deportation without wrecking the economy and the economy will be the number one priority in his first term and will be again. don't believe a word he says.
