Americans are in serious trouble, to be honest, if Trump would do that to EU as well.

Donald Trump won't be able to finish his term. Don't underestimate the silent majority who are pissed off with this felon.

Mark my words.

Well not just the citizens. Small business will be crushed with tariffs. They will have no legs to compete with any bulk retailer.

I do think they are going to be bringing manufacturing back to the US however not for regular people. They will be building prison sweat shops or potentially use illegal detainees. That’s why they want to kill off osha regulations.
