Getting things done usually means building. It's decidedly easier to tear things down and much harder to build them back up.
Zero grocery, zero price. You cannot complain about avocado prices if there was no avocado imported, eh?

So here's the fucking thing.
The crisis is already here. Go take a peak at the ports on the west coast right now. Go look at business forecasts.
This man systematically destroyed a working economy in a business quarter.
The repercussions of these actions are going to be felt for at least a decade.
They will be felt for the rest of the century.
Totally agreed.
These people literally are destroying the pre eminent power and completely usurping centuries old historical power hierarchies seemingly for the benefit of shorting the markets on their own whim.
As if those dollars they earn will be worth anything when hyperinflation hits.

brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.

Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
Trump did state he was going to raise tarrifs. The problem is that a lot of voters thought he was going to govern like he did in the first term.
What was so great about the first term? The only thing that kept that from being a disaster was the fact that people stopped him from doing so many shitty things. Now he’s ignoring everyone including the courts.
Trump was relatively ineffective on his first term because he didn't know how to be effective and didn't choose to ignore the courts.
Trying to put myself in the shoes of a Trump supporter who isn't an idiot, they probably thought the damage Trump could do for a second term would be as limited as it was for the first term while still keeping a governmental status quo.

Hyuck hyuck hyuck
And some people still say he has business skills...
What, you don't think he's getting rich off this?
Yeah people misunderstand Trump's business history. It doesn't matter how many casinos he bankrupted, Trump profited. He's a vampire like a private equity firm, leaving a trail of dead husks behind him.
MAGAts know nothing but hurting others.
They also know hurting themselves.
