When negotiating, never split the difference. Start high and walk back to reality. One by one, that’s what will happen with these tariffs. And yes, America is broke. We have been paying taxes to fund other countries and build bombs and the treasury has been looted over the last 4 years. If nothing changed, then America and all the countries that it’s supports would actually collapse and actually create the power vacuum you’re talking about. But in reality, the changes Trump has made will prevent that from happening. The country was run on tariffs until a “temporary war-time” income tax was levied. This never went away and has only increased. The Revolutionary War was started over a 4% tea tax. I paid 46% federal last year. What you’re seeing with the markets is a short term squeeze to balance the budget. USAID was fraudulently spending so much tax payer money that it was artificially inflating the GDP. Because government spending is included in the GDP calculations.
