Watching Trump flaunt his executive powers by ignorantly

[Colgate 64]

decreeing a tariff war with the world for no reason is like being tied to a chair and forced to watch a toddler play with a loaded gun. There's nothing you can do to stop it and you know that, sooner or later there's going to be a tragedy.

I wonder how all the recent converts to the "Leopards will eat your face" party will react when they find their faces being eaten by leopards?

1. My guess:

The toddler is going to weaponize tariffs to use against anybody in the whole wide world who says or does something he doesn't like.

Additionally, he may see tariffs as a way to help his chosen toadies raise their prices and in turn their profits and stock prices.

He may believe other countries aren't strong enough to counteract his thuggery so they will obey.

2. I still say this is all about stock manipulation

It is always about money with these clowns. Always.

3. Always.

Remember his theme song?

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money money

4. While I appreciate the analogy, there's a big flaw in it

A toddler gets my empathy due to its naïveté. If it killed itself, I would feel saddened, not relieved.
