Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
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.

It started with joking about it.
Today, the US President told his military to make plans to invade, by force, Panama.
He announced his plans to annex Greenland - in front of the NATO head.
He said the only way out for Canada was to become part of the U.S.
This is not a joke.
War is coming.

And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
