6 thoughts on “Trump calls April 2 ‘Liberation Day’ for his tariffs. Here’s what to expect.

  1. Good article from Damon Linker’s “Notes From the Middleground” this morning – watch for the Trump blame game to start as soon as things go sideways. As MAGA reveals itself as MSGA (Making Stagflation Great Again) the regression from “the buck stops here” to “I don’t take responsibility at all” will be painfully apparent.

    Linker’s ending quote – “Just when you thought Trumpist politics couldn’t get any worse, we are reminded that it’s nearly always possible for things to get worse.” As he insists delusionally that he has massive support for a third term, in the world of reality, he will go down as one of the worst, if not the worst president in American history.

  2. Just waiting on someone to make it make sense.

    Total abandonment of the free market and implementation of a government controlled economy in which the government decides prices and how much companies are allowed to profit is the only way any of Trump’s tariff plans work. You know, like in those socialist countries that… we voted for Trump to prevent.

    Never too late to come around to the right side of history, folks.
