Yes, we did lose Phil.

If you listen to David Packman or BrianTyler Cohen talk about the disastrous impending tariffs and trade wars with Mexico and Canada, which violate Trump's own new NAFTA agreement you can see there is definitely an economic WAR that is coming and it ain't gonna be pretty.

Of course, Trump will say that the resulting inflation is due to the Democrats policies which of course is just another massive lie.

Trump's entire philosophy is "if it helps make me wealthier, it is good for the country." He now has cover for anything he does from SCOTUS.

The result is that we will return to being a kakistocracy and a kleptocracy where the billionaire class will ultimately be the sole winners but Trump will spin in to have Americans believe that it is the Democrats fault.

You mean all those Americans who heard exactly those warnings about the inflationary effect of large tariffs from Dems and every business broadcast out there are going to think Dems caused that?

Probably Frank. They will believe whatever Trump and his media tell them.

"If you listen to David Packman or Brian Tyler Cohen talk about the disastrous impending tariffs..."

Welp. That is the first issue. We have the option of not listening to fear mongering.
