Trump is going to launch a trade war against California in the next few days.

Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

trump thinks tariffs on products from California would be great...cause he thinks the libs in California will pay for the tariffs.

He could put all the tariffs he wants on CA, but CA could negotiate its own trade agreement with other countries. There can’t be much that we need from other states that couldn’t be purchased from other countries. I’m liking this more and more.

Oh, and btw red states… the price for smartphones, computers, servers, networking equipment, and software are going up a lot.
