4. This could be yet more bully bait & switch: he is getting a report on April 1 analyzing other countries

I doubt the report will have much or anything to say about impacts in the US. It will undoubtedly propagate the completely bogus claim the orange economist is making suddenly about VAT, that it is a hidden tariff.

It seems tRump will have to touch the hot stove of recession and stock market declines before he will get a concept of what he is doing in actuality.

I think by then it will be too late for him to salvage his legacy. He is Nixonizing himself, especially considering Covid and Jan 6.

If he fucks up his supposed core competency, business and economics, then he will have nothing. He will have Hooverized himself.
