#FBPE NotReallyMeIsIt

Trump just wants to be famous. And creating the Greater Depression will do that. There's nothing "reciprocal" about the Trump Blockade. He attacked the countries that had NO tariffs on US goods, like Australia, Switzerland, and Singapore. He broke all of our trade treaties, and now the word of the US is worthless. He has us in a trade war with the entire world, including Canada. Canada's average tariff on US goods was 2%... now it's 25%. Every company in every country is scrambling to replace the US as both a customer and a supplier. There is no excuse for attacking China, either. US economic problems are self-inflicted... cutting off Chinese goods makes us far worse off, as the US .gov has systematically made it impossible to make many important products here. The economies of the world are currently built around a global network which has allowed massive specialization and increased efficiency, and many of the physical assets are now severely degraded in value as they are cut off from the customers that depend on their parts and raw materials. Trying to pretend that there is anything but economic and military self-sabotage intended here is ridiculous. We are entering another Greater Depression if Congress refuses to do its Constitutional job and pass a reasonable tariff bill that breaks the blockade.
