You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Doocy says Trump can still change his mind but he's settled on announcing tomorrow either a flat 20 percent tariff or adjustable tariffs based on each country's trade policies
