Only if it's stopped. Might be a good bet that it would be ,though.At least the watch will tell the truth two times a day.
No, because he has no idea that would be the result. But if it were to happen that way, he'd consider it a feature, not a bug.Is his intention to doom Latin America to a perpetual underclass?
There's a lot of truth here. I guess one might quibble with the causality, though. Is Trump making a choice to sell brand instead of policy? Or is he just incapable of talking about policy?
I see tariffs as integral to Trump's brand in two ways. First, his whole spiel about how foreigners are going to continue to do business in this country even though they will be taxed like never before is basically "Mexico will pay" redux. I don't think people fully appreciate how integral the "Mexico will pay" part was to the campaign. Trump, after all, was not the first person to run on a border wall. To MAGA, the border wall was never really about immigration; it was about humiliation. It was the fantasy that white Americans could make brown people pay for their own exclusion. Yeah, sure. So now it's foreign companies that are going to be paying us for the privilege of doing business here.
Second, tariffs are an incredibly grifting opportunity because so much is at the president's discretion. So of course Trump is drawn to it.
