As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter.
Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research.
What a fucking asshole.
