What happens if there aren't 200 tariff deals in 3/4 weeks?

Will that wake MAGA? I never thought I would see the day I believed the Chinese over an American President.

How about no Carhartt jackets for the Fall?

How about no Carhartt work boots?

How about no camo for deer season?

How about no sleeping bags from LL Bean?

Yeti products?

How about no back-to-school shoes?

Do we even make pencil boxes and rulers?

What’s it gonna take? Kohl’s, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx closing?

Or all of the above? Dunno.

What about no FEMA for a tropical storm at Houston?

Will that wake them up?

All of this will happen while Republicans are engaged in budget reconciliation for that “big beautiful bill.” I have some popcorn stashed for that.

Add to your lost to tariffs check lists construction tools. Even some heavy equipment is made overseas and almost all hand power tools are.

His approval ratings are in the basement now. My MAGA family hunts and fishes. Christmas is the time for Yetis.

Glad you mentioned big equipment. I have a cousin currently looking for a new combine.

Then he will pretend he was never involved in the whole thing. All relevant agencies will scrub their databases and Web sites of any mention of his involvement. An EO requiring all history books to blame the whole thing on Joe Biden will be issued. MAGAland will eagerly absorb the lies as always. And China will slap an export tax on Christmas to make up for their losses....
