This morning Trump’s policy guys backed off tariffs for imported cars, under the fake guise of “national security”. They are delaying imposing those tariffs by six months.

Why did they postpone for six months?

Because data showed April manufacturing production and April retail sales both FELL, when they were forecasted to grow.

It’s started.

The recession is about to hurt big tine.

Give it two months. Three tops. Then the bottom falls out.
