the funny thing about all this— I know someone who works on Wall Street, before the election I had asked, “so what are people in your land worried about?”

turns out all the finance people were already freaking about tariffs because for some reason Trump, who believes almost nothing, truly believes in tariffs, and has been harping on this since the 80’s.

it’s been surreal watching this all play out over the last few months.

Trumps been in politics for 10 years now and it’s been nonstop saying and doing incredibly stupid things. These tariffs are the most predictable thing in the world.
