The Art of the Retreat
Trump’s abrupt pivot from his planned global trade war was touted by allies as grand strategy. The president’s own words suggested otherwise.

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely *gotta* let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

The Supreme Court saying deportation targets must have due process (as long as they have a lawyer ready to go with a habeas suit who quickly notices an unannounced disappearing by unmarked agents) is Jim Crow stuff.
You technically have rights, says the Court, you just won’t get to exercise them.

Made about $7/hour. If you were lucky enough to move out on the floor to sew shirts, that’s where you could make the big bucks. Usually about $10/hour.
These are the types of jobs Trump plans to “bring back.” Low wage, back breaking manual labor. No unions. Working for pennies. Desperate work.
