That would probably be the correct move. In the end, the bully will
fold. Americans won't stand for higher prices on food, gas, and
materials. Stupid Americans will believe that they're going to get a 25%
discount on items from Canada, Mexico, and China. I suppose it's going
to be a great shock for the MAGA minions.

The strange part is that I can't tell if the tariffs are in effect.
Trump announced/insisted that they would start today but there's been no
confirmation of that. There was some report about Selena Gomez crying
but that's the standard WH ploy of distracting MAGA into something other
than the real news.
