13. Lawrences's is THE single best explanation of Trump's economic stupidity, and the Reality of American economics.

Yes. Trump will back down and spout a "pause" lie about why. He's terrified about his stupidity being revealed.

Most coffee drinkers don't even know about the fact that the coffee economy (now that we don't import oil) is based on coffee being America's largest single import -- and neither does Trump. Tariffs on coffee are like the British king's greedy tariff on tea which began the Revolution. A coffee tariff could prod a similar result now.

Trump's "a little disturbance" is the lie about tariffs being imposed as a "national security" measure.

Lawrence's folding in Trudeau's great, leaderly statement, "Your government is doing this to YOU" was a masterclass about how Trump's stupidity wrecks both domestic and his own trade economics.

The tariff fuckup came from trying to cover over the immigration fuckup.

This felon fucks around, finds out, then backs down.

Gotta LUV Lawrence. Thanks for this!
