even if we throw these people out of power the enduring legacy of Trump is that nobody can ever again trust the US government to keep a promise, and that will come back to bite us over and over again

what a shameful thing this is

4. During this pause, the United States will still have the highest tariffs in the industrialized world, perhaps 10-20 times that of most of our trading partners, and roughly ten times higher than it was before.

These are still at or above the Depression era Smoot-Hawley tariffs

Here in America people will be doing cartwheels over half fixing a self induced crisis

The rest of the world will shrug and continue the slow and steady process of a future economic reality that doesn't revolve around the USA

It'll take time but that's where it's headed

im just a bird @hawkbirdguy.bsky.social · Apr 9

Not to mention that there's STILL more tariffs than a week ago, including a functional embargo on China and who the F knows with Mex/Can/EU

It's still a completely crazy situation

It's going to be slow but you're right. No matter how Trumpism ends, the world is going to de dollar over the next 20ish years.

Big Bully Politics (TM) can create 3 responses:

1. The bullied give in, the Big Bully wins and pushes harder.

2. The bullied fight back alone, and are crushed, and the Big Bully wins and pushes harder.

3. The bullied fight together and defeat the Big Bully, who loses his aura of all-powerful.

Don't worry, I'm sure THIS sudden about face from DJT assures all security and economic partners that we're stable, serious, and reliable for decades to come. Right?

Really great that we appear to be sliding into the sweet spot of inflicting crippling long-term damage on US institutions and influence while keeping the consequences diffuse enough to not break the Republican Party.

Funny how reporters spent years in small-town diners profiling forgotten Trump voters — yet now that those folks are losing jobs, shuttering businesses, and watching their savings vanish due to Trump’s chaos, the diner voice has gone quiet.

I am convinced a major factor in the tariff disaster is that Trump has so consistently been met with cowardice and capitulation from every quarter in American politics that he imagined other countries would just as easily fold to bullying.
