The Archmoron himself,
Trump in his tower, in Manhattan.
Playing golf in Mar a Lago,
Tear down the metal fences which are supposed to keep him protected in the White House.
The crowd grows exponentially as ravages of job losses, and price rises, caused by tariffs on goods which ordinary Americans both want and need, make life so much more difficult for the people, including the sheep who voted for him; The ignorant brainwashed, less educated Trumplings who voted in blind faith for him and his unelected cronies.
They wanted to hit the liberal establishment, which they did. Politicians and civil servants went scurrying out of Washington, their share and stock values tumbling.
But so did they hurt American industries too. Who is going to buy an American car when it is put together with more expensive parts from Canada or Mexico, because of the tariffs, Or when Boeing lose their airplane contracts with China because of the trade war begun with China.
China built up its industries, to replace many goods which had been made in America, just like Japan and South Korea, But now they don’t make them in America no more, and its going to take more than a few months to get those factories set up in the US again behind tariff walls.
Now I don’t think there’s anything that wrong with a few tariffs here and there to protect and nourish certain industries at home, but blanket tariffs without any thought has even the Republican Senators worried, particularly when it hits their own constituents, and the fears and anger starts pouring in. Strangely the realization does not seem to have hit all the Americans yet. Why are Trump’s popularity ratings still as high as they are, despite big reductions? Don’t they realise what is going to hit them all soon?

Supply chains are inter
Supply chains are inter-connected and often span the Globe. The Law of Unintended Consequences very much in play when applying artifical changes to an established economic model. Trump's tariffs have been declared illegal again in court. What a mess...
