    Yeah. We’re all on board this wild ride and none of us are experts, but I really do have a strong suspicion that this thing is going to go real bad for Trump in a very meaningful way.

    It’s not just like the time he said whatever stupid thing. He’s really fucked everyone for no reason and even his supporters are going to judge him harshly when they lose their jobs and everything costs twice as much.

      This is where you got it wrong, his accolytes are in this as a matter of faith, if the orange cunt makes them lose their job, he only needs to blame “the woke” and they will believe it.

      China must send the US to the great depression era all over again and even then, I’m not sure the magats will stop voting for him

      Zero things will happen to him unless he goes to jail for life or is killed. Other than those two, he is untouchable…. Sadly.

        I suspect you might be underestimating the fall out.

        Unemployment will increase. The cost of everyday items will increase significantly. There may be shortages of foodstuffs.

        These aren’t intangible gloomy pessimistic “what ifs”, but rather predictions shared by most experts.

        When a significant portion of the population is unable to feed themselves they will become ungovernable.

        Trump is incapable of backing down on anything ever. He just doubles down. Always. He’s doing it this very moment with China and their 100% tariffs.

        What else can possibly be the outcome of having an ungovernable population and a POTUS incapable of addressing the problem?
