Golly, you don’t suppose the outcome of this trade squabble could push Mexico straight into China’s loving embrace, thereby achieving exactly the opposite of the ostensible goals of the trump tariffs? All whilst driving up prices in the US? Do you??
No, definitely not. The only way to lower prices is to raise them drastically. You see, if you don't let these supposed "economists" and "third graders who understand addition" tell you otherwise, you can easily see that this is a fucking brilliant plan. That's why the astute American public bought it. Because they're so educated.
Your second sentence made me think of this.
Reminds me of that guy that said he "loved the ~~poorly~~ educated" Wonder what happened to him...
Russia is okay with it. If they could I'm sure they would orchestrate such things to happen
By doing things like supporting the rise of one of their assets to the presidency?
Oh
They are.
We need aliens in the near future like asap... if it was ever going to be a thing we need real life aliens. They will either kill us all or bring us together as a species and unite us all together... Maybe then we can get our shit together
Nah we’ll just slap some tariffs on them too
