Step 1: Create disaster (put tariffs on your allies)

Step 2: Rabble, rabble, rabble while you dismantle the rest of the government and put people in concentrations camps.

Step 3: Tell everyone you solved the disaster by making it a tiny bit less of a disaster.

Step 4: Celebrate?

I, for one, am ready to watch my fellow countrymen fall all over themselves to find a way to elect him a 3rd time while hating everything about their lives directly because of his policies. Can't wait!

The media will just blame it on obama or something. The "The Deep State" has always been a campaign to explain why republican statements don't match their policy results to gullible people.

Worked for Trump's first term I guess. Kill people from resisting vaccinations and mandates. Then encourage people to get vaccinated.

This. The trade deal is not too bad, but it's way worse than the pre-Trump state of things.

Yeah there's no good reason to restrict trade with the eu. They're the most similar economy to us and we've found a reasonable balance. When we compete it's often beneficial to both economies and where we don't it's in deeply intertwined ways. The sophisticated machinery you buy from the Netherlands may use parts from Chicago and be the best tool for making products in either Czechia or Alabama.

Honestly Europe had more cause to tariff us over our lax regulations on labor, environmentalism, and consumer protection resulting in an unfair advantage.
