No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver's license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff.
That's where America is now, with trump in the driver's seat.
Dumb choice, America.

I want to specifically name the things I find unconscionable, the conduct that turns my stomach, the legislation I abhor, the cruelty I will not abide.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
