How fast do people forget that Trump's policies toward Iran caused the very nuclear problem he's using to drag America into World War 3.
Even worse, there's a presencial link between tariffs and his war plans.

19. Liberals tend to believe two things about evil. Either it’s not really evil – it’s ignorance, superstition or some other human failing – or if it is evil, it needs no explanation. Anyone can see it with their own two eyes. Pointing it out might actually be insulting to people’s intelligence.

1. The president put a 90-day pause on some tariffs in response to the dangerous instability that came out of the bond markets. Other tariffs are still in play, especially the ridiculous 104 percent tax on goods from China and the across-the-board 10 percent tax on all other imports.
