we can expect a withdrawal of tariffs at any time. Or not. As of now, watch what happens to retail outlets that trade with cheap Chinese products. Look out for WalMart and Dollar Store crashes. WalMart will lose a ton of revenue from reduced cash flow and Dollar Stores may as well close up right now. Donny doesn't do so well when it comes to "unforeseen consequences."

It's not a bad idea that the US should do more domestic production of products and parts. But reversing international commerce and supply chains is a huge undertaking in which Trump shows utter ignorance. No chief executive in history would ever attempt to change world trade in this manner.

Next in line for the "cravenly stupid" goes to Congressional Republicans, who refuse to accept the fact that Trump will lead them all off a cliff while they march without pause to the edge. They are TERRIFIED to consider a pause, so they keep marching.

Ninety-nine percent of all organisms in the history of the planet are EXTINCT, and the GOP believes that our species will live forever, regardless of how we manage ourselves as a species.
