Has anyone woken up to Trumps idea of a Capitalist Economy. It means only tolerate the productive, starve out the weak, sick, homeless, old, retired, vets. If you are no longer productive you are not needed and won’t be tolerated by government. As for the rich, they are only there to get richer.

Due to his waning popularity Trump is being intentionally controversial in order to stir up support from his dwindling MAGA base. I think even the stupidest amongst them are slowly starting to realise there is no light at the end of Trumps tunnel.

Saw this recently and with deference to the author it sums up America today.

America is a big market but the rest of the world is 20 times bigger. If the world works around the US it will change the balance for the better. Trump is untrustworthy and his word worth zero.

Don’t impose retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Find alternatives and don’t import the US products. In the end US manufacturers will choke on their excess unsold stock and eventually Trump will wake up that tariffs weren’t a good idea and beg the world to deal with them again..

Am of the opinion that we should not fight Trump over tariffs. Let him impose them, the US consumer is paying them. The US needs to import as it doesn’t produce the goods its importing. All that will happen is US consumer spending will decrease due their higher prices. We should not import US goods.
