The Commerce secretary was on CNBC yesterday am talking about how the tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs to US. Then a few seconds later was talking about having Apple (and other companies) make their products in the US using robotics. So very few actual American humans getting jobs.

He's also fond of saying we're going to make trillions from the tariff payments, but we'll all be buying American products. The math does not check out.

We try this every hundred years, and the math never maths. The last time we did this it caused the great depression. And now the idiot in chief thinks he can bully the world economically, when the world has moved on from our bullshit.

The world started to shift after the 2008 crash happened since it showed we're not reliable. Trump 1 solidified to everyone that we can't be trusted. Now we're on Trump 2 and America is going to get put into its place.

Hope y'all are ready for Great Depression 2.
