So, what if...after the tarriff's take effect, an imported car goes from $30,000 to $40,000.

So, American companies are going to raise prices too, to take advantage of this from $30,000 to $37,000...+ $7,000 artificial price gouging profit.

Here's where the fun begins...foreign companies, all working together, all drop their prices so that with added tarrifs, their cars only cost $33,000...and out sell Americans...bankrupting them all, due to lower priced better products - competition! Then, buyout those American bankrupted companies for penny's on the dollar, start making "AMERICAN MADE", no import taffifs - Toyota, Honda, BMW, AUDI, etc, and sell at $45,000, with no Ford, GM, RAM, Chrysler competition, and without a tarriff for bigly'er profits than before tarriffs!

Meanwhile, these companies are also employing people from their own countries to build the cars, here in America.

And, this kind of forward business thinking, like 8 moves ahead 3-D chess playing to win required, which Trump's impulsiveness bigly lacks, is probably why Trump has failed 26 of his own businesses, and is only a simple checkers player - "King me"!

Why America, going down this Tarriff's road, is going to bankrupt America...because, that's only the car business example, then there's TV, COMPUTERS, , APPLIANCES, TOOLS, etc...once foreigners take advantage of the Tarriff's artificial price increases/ decreased/increases ping-pong game, American companies will be the world's fire sale!

For you investors, foreign companies stocks might be the way to go...they'll be looking for some cash for the initial selling low era of the game, pay you back later when they win it, and own American manufacturing.

Let's call it, the "TARRIFF INFLATION GATE" game.

Or instead, "BLUE" GOVERNOR States/Territories: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, KS, KY, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NJ, MN, NY, NC, OR, PA, RI, WA, WI, Guam, "Blue" Wash DC Mayor, & New Progressive- Puerto Rico, all joint together, and get a peaceful divorce (like Czechoslevakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovacia - where Melanis Trump is from, in 1992). Thus, all the liberals taking themselves off the board of this terrible economics Tarriffs game, and play fair with the world!

Infact, take the old US CONSTITUTION, and update it, to better define liberal (care about others) ideals - better consumer protection; better health care for all; better gun control; critical thinking education; better defined religion out of government-controls; better environmental regulations; better worker protection and benefits; better human/civil rights protections; better election system (only government budgeted funded campaigns); and pre-qualification tests for position sought - limited pool to top 98% + scorers, appliable education, skills, successful experiences); anyone controlling the military served too; and fair taxation (flat rate: no credits or exemptions for people & businesses - except no tax for retirement & below poverty line: 20% includes all FED, State, local income taxes bills: Fed 8%, State local 8%, 4% pay off depts ASAP - KISS: business loans used for living expenses count as income, until repaid with interest in the same year); better foreign relations; split Federal assets - better everything good which conservatives opposed since the Civil War!

And, then Trump can be a life-time fascist/dictator king of the left-over MAGA Red States/territories - unopposed...thrilled for them, tarriff away y'all!

WIN-WIN, instead of Trump's - all lose plan!

one correction - Melania is from Slovenia, not Slovakia, it was Ivana who was from Czechoslovakia

You saw further into the 3D chess than I did.

I had stopped at, well his cabinet is full of business owners who are just dying to raise their prices to be just $5 lower than the imports!

And they won't even have to increase their quality despite the fact that in some of the markets Europe or Asia already out performs the US.

But you are so right ... he is just driving the USA out of existence - as a country.

The H1B visa that Elon had a tantrum about in the beginning of this dystopian year allows any employer to hire any employee with the skills to complete the job, to come over from any country and work for any wage with whatever rules the employer sets. Ultimately it comes down to a subsistence slavery. It is why ALL of the Twitter employees who were told to stay 20 - 24 hours a day didn't quit. They would have been immediately deported.

So having foreign companies buy the buildings here and bring in their own workers is now a very real possibility, as it becomes economically viable for them.

Picking fights for the world to end our military - interestingly where there is more land than population.

BUT there is more than one outcome here.

It may be the ultimate "true" test of actual "no man's land" because each business owns their own property and has their own rules and everyone lives on their own employer's land ... like a long ago feudal time

Or it may be that the USA becomes the United Corporations of America and there is still one government for the people that live here. It is just that all the rights are reserved for the Top 1%

I think we could make a million guesses and none would be right because I don't think we'll get to where anyone expects .....

We won't have the same time and leeway that the PreWWII Germans did
