Okay, so, being incredibly generous here, I sort of get their point, but why not slowly ramp tariffs up to allow domestic production to catch up? Because fuck you, that's why.

And, as always, none of any of the false promises of prosperity excuse any of the hate Trump spreads.

Instead, the xenophobic hate from an economic idiot is believable enough to start a worldwide depression over trying to get batteries for Elon while making pop-up-factories with AI staff I guess?

Or of course the alternative wartime “economy”.
