I'm still not fully clear how this is going to shake out but it seems like the global supply chain is going to be an even bigger mess than it already is

It will continue to be a mess as Trump gets off on the power of raising and lowering the tariffs and the Regime sells favors to domestic friends in exchange for relief from the tariffs. This will not be a set it and forget it thing for him.

It is wild that he can just set tariffs like this because he is so dumb

This would be a great time for congress to start taking power back from the executive branch. Especially when the chief executive thinks he is an emperor and has dogshit inside his skull instead of a brain.

Well, now that we won't be getting ripped off so much, we will all be able to enjoy the benefits of higher prices for everything.

That's just until all these new factories start humming in 15-20 years.
Manufacturing is thrilled about the tariffs that supposed to help them...

Reciprocal - A word that completely confuses #blueanon aka Cuckville USA

A trillion dollar negative outflow from the US to foreign countries is good . . . #blueanon

It's incredibly stupid, and I remember the Jon Stewart interview earlier this week with Oren Cass and it was all like "we should do this, and I trust the guys behind it, they're smart". Wonder how he feels right now.

Note to viewers of this blog: VW (for example) already severely impacted by the rising costs of energy in Europe ~~because Vlad Putin blew up his own pipeline~~ because the Ukrainian's with US approval blew up the Russian pipeline (noting that Don Trump told the Euro's to stop buying energy from Vlad Putin some years ago) were already considering shuttering one if not several plants on the European continent . . . for the first time ever.
