    No tariffs have been set but we’re going to just assume they’ll be put on items we can’t even make. 100% tariffs on everything, trade isn’t something you strategically do.

      That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.
