Trump: ""We're gonna return the world to peace. And mostly I can do it with a telephone call ... "

At this point I am as disgusted with the folks who voted for Trump as I am with Trump himself.


Trump: "We're gonna return the world to peace. And mostly I can do it with a telephone call ... 'you go to war with another country that's friendly to us … you're not gonna do business in the US and we're gonna charge you 100% tariffs.'" (August)

Listening to Tater Tot Tantrums is just Baloney

Also, NOT DOING BUSINESS and 100% TARIFFS are incompatible. 100% tariffs means you are still doing business. Not doing business means tariffs are irrelevant.

'you go to war with another country that's friendly to us … you're not gonna do business in the US and we're gonna charge you 100% tariffs.', and enforce what he says.
How do you charge someone 100% tariffs if they can not do business in the US ?
