Trump's tariffs are a masterclass in economic masochism and diaper-don doltishness. Our "President" declared April 2 "Liberation Day," launching a bevy of tariffs to liberate us from...affordable goods? Economic stability? There's no reason for this idiocy, except there's an unstable jackwad with a black hole for a soul who only feels alive, even half-decent about himself, when trying to hurt or dominate others.

He's a pathetic wuss who's more spider monkey than human. Yet, as a convict and proven idiot, many Americans thought, "yeah, we want him back." Well, you got him. And a 25% tariff on auto imports and blanket levy on products from allies & adversaries—incl Canada, China, and the EU. Trump's strategy resembles economic self-flagellation and playground tantrum more than cogent trade policy. ​

We'll see a surge in prices for everyday items like groceries. The U of Michigan's consumer survey already shows a significant decline in sentiment, driven by inflation fears. Goldman Sachs has upped its estimate of the likelihood we'll enter recession.
