Trump starts welding everyone into a trade war induced economic heart attack. Supply chain breaks, financing chain breaks, something in usd bond market snaps. Uturns on europe via russia threat. Ask for gibs. Fries japan and korea re export economy, ask for gibs. Both regions reorients toward china. Truth social random paragraphs 12 hours a day non stop. Pivots to india, promise india all industry and investments if they symbolically sign trade deal and prop up usd. India does 9/11 to attack pakistan right after apple announcement to move production there. India loses 60 billion dollars worth of aircraft within a week, ask us for guarantee. Uk signs a deal to deal to "lower import tax on usa steel". They dont buy usa steel. Trump ropes in china for trade talks after one month. 90 day pause.
Now
China on us tarrif 10%

@IAMAL_PHARIUS I"m still waiting for the 35% Tariff on Mexico, to "Bring our Factories Home," which Trump promised in 2015/16 - before then signing the "Keep Our Factories in Mexico" NAFTA-II Treason-Treaty "deal."
Then there was the most important 2016 promise:
> "Immigration law exists ... to protect our schools, workplaces .... If we only enforced the laws against crime (Obama's 'Bad Hombres' policy) we have an Open Border to the Entire World. Under a Trump administration ALL Immigration Laws will be enforced."
Then, he continued an even weaker / fewer-deportations version of Obama's 'Bad Hombres' policy - still to this day.
