What is looking like more of an idiot than he already does going to accomplish? He's the most idiotic politician in living memory, by far, and there are some absolutely colossal morons on that list. The people who haven't figured that out are never going to. They will be praising him until the day they die.
Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

by other nations selling their goods to us cheaply, and by them accepting our Dollars that cost us nothing to make for it!!
I don't think Trump understands the benefits and privileges for USA of having the top international reserve currency.
But maybe if he ruins it quick enough, he may find out?Play stupid games and win stupid prices.

It isn't quite that easy.
The US is a MASSIVE part of basically every luxury industry and isn't insignificant in many others. So while alternate trading partners can be found to handle stuff like lumber, plenty of industries are going to be hit real hard and not have alternative customers. And they aren't going to just want to lower their profits for national pride.
But yeah. I REALLY hope trump is just actively destroying the US either in the name of putin or just out of anger and spite over not winning in 2020. Because the alternative is that we are all going to suffer so fucking much because that piece of shit doesn't understand what tariffs are.
Luxury goods are not really hit by tariffs nor taxes the same way more basic goods might be. A $ 4000 that goes to $ 4 500 is way more manageable for the kind of people who want to and can buy it (it may even make it more desirable for those who want and can't buy it).

He doesn't understand what VAT is.
He doesn't understand anything. Here's what he said about income taxes and tariffs today.
They established the income tax so that citizens, rather than foreign countries, would start paying the money necessary to run our government

For people inside the US doesnt paying for the tarriffs just means more money going into this administration? Better to only purchase things if you absolutely have to

I wish TSMC would open a factory in Europe.
Not only would it be very advantageous for the EU, it would sting like hell for the US.
They are already building one in Dresden, others are planned to follow. The CHIPS act is at last having an effect.

This is kind of hilarious in a dumb way. It's going to hit american consumers like a goddamn hammer, and will be rewarded with tariffs going the other way, and we'll all be poorer. Americans most of all.
If he keeps going like this you'll end up with stagflation - high inflation and a stagnating or recessive economy. That shit is hard to get out of, good luck.

You can't get close to orange fuck for anything like that. You gotta hope for a natural luigi to show up and say "time's up bitch"
Not even via a trebuchet?
