This narcissism and the cult around him menas that Americans are going to get experience what shopping in a late stage Communist country is like. Republicans in Congress are either totally in on the cult or can't bring themselves to work with the Democrats to get rid of Trump.

Israel's currents tariff's on American goods are somewhere in the range of 1% to 2%. Netanyahu promised tariffs of 0% on American imports if Trump would not impose tariffs on Israel. Trump said no and went on to impose the tariffs. Netanyahu's meeting with Trump was to flatter him out of the tariffs and Trump would not budge. This is extremely bad because Netanyahu is probably the foreign leader most likely to get Trump to budge on tariffs.

Apple is going to move Iphone production from China to...India, as a way around the tariffs.
It is impossible to overstate how much of a big freaking disaster this is going to be for the American consumer. It just isn't fancy Iphones that come from China. A lot of basic medicines and medical goods come from China and a lot of clothing. Things are going to get more expensive and crappier.
What Trusk is doing right now is basically the economic equivalent of the Ghost Dance.

We have Liz Tuss or worse as President without a good way to remove her from power. On attempt to remove or at least hinder Trump will require the Republicans to team up with the Democrats. Republicans aren't going to do that.

India isn't the exact model of political stability itself. My main point is that the tariffs are not going to revive American manufacturing.

This. It's basically like we are living in a real life version of the Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
There is a 104% tariff on goods from China.
