Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Pls read his letter.
How is the committee remotely serious about protecting the vulnerable if it dismisses the doctors who treat them?
