Summary
Trump had to reverse his aggressive tariff rhetoric after CEOs from Walmart, Target, and Home Depot warned of empty shelves and higher prices due to supply chain disruptions.
Investors reacted negatively to his threats against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, prompting a market sell-off.
Trump backtracked, expressing optimism on a China trade deal and now denying plans to fire Powell.
Global markets remain volatile, and the IMF cited Trump’s trade war as a “major negative shock” to global growth.
That’s a bit tautological, like “It they could break it, it needed fixing anyway.”
And that’s a bit too much like “If Hitler could invade France, it’s the French’s fault for not fighting back harder.”
Russia has been at war against the American people since Putin and traitorous US oligarchs imposed Trump on us in his first term. It’s victim-blaming to say that’s the American people’s fault.
Ah, yes, the famous denial of fascists in your own country.
YOU VOTED IN TRUMP WITH A MAJORITY KNOWING HE IS FASCIST.
This is squarely the fault of the American people. Lack of education and political will might be to blame, but to say that you are victims is such a farce that I don’t believe you live in reality.
I’m not sure your allegory is very apt.
