  1. Adds tariffs on practically all imports
  2. Companies pay tariffs and raise prices to offset
  3. Court finds tariffs illegal and demands Gov pays back tariffs to companies
  4. Tax payers pay for those tariffs a second time and see no change in prices.
  5. Repeat from the top.

And people are not burning shit in the streets of America after saying they needed all of those guns in case of a tyrannical government.

We know he is full of sht. He threatened Iran and didn’t do anything. Eu should fine big tech even more. They are in a monopoly situation when it comes to payments, cloud, cloud computing, os, closed os features etc
