I mean it's not dumb if the goal is weakening the US. Which is what Putin likely ordered.

This. People keep talking about Trump's actions like he's a screaming child let loose in a candy shop but his actions have been calculated, swift, decisive, and effective. In a matter of days he has put the US into the weakest position it has been in decades. This was planned.
Planned by people other than Trump. He is good with it because he is a piece of shit, but he is just a puppet.
Or if you want to create another veritable feast for the oligarchs. Our suffering is their discounts.
doesn't need to order, trump's childish and ignorant mind is incredibly easy to manipulate and think he came up with the genius idea by himself, especially by the likes of KGB putin.
The net result is making China's market technocratic dictatorship style minimally competent next to this sinking ship of fools as disaster capitalists dismember the state.
Weakens the US so they cannot resist the gop takeover.
And China.
Could you have brought this up during the election, when he said he would enact tariffs?
Plenty of people were talking about it. Did you really miss it?
It's really annoying seeing the major news outlets now put up articles about how egg prices aren't the presidents fault and tariffs are really going to suck when I've been saying it for the past 6 months. They spent so much effort sucking up to trump only now to tell us he sucks?
Remember that most mainstream media have been bought by orange fascists.
Nah, media was too busy wringing their hands over Biden being old.
That should make everyone seethingly furious that Biden's age and any other bullshit was treated the same as Trump naming the evil shit he'd do.
There were open letters from hundreds of economists. People didn’t want to hear.
Yep. People see the media they want to see. Nobody was paying attention to the stories about how this exact thing would happen. And what do you know it's happening.
Even then let's say the media sucks and we were completely not told by anyone. All you had to do was remember 4 years ago... But that's also too much to ask these days.
Figuring out that tarrifs are going to raise your prices takes about as much brainpower as figuring out what will happen when you saw through a branch you are sitting on...
Ohh, now we get to savage things, instead of slam them? How exciting!
Cant wait for all the but this is such a genius move crap
Earn triple points with the editor by combining the two:
Savage Slam!
Dumbest trade war in history so far
This is how we are "respected" now right?
Unless the writer was a trump supporter before the election or this quotes his supporters...this is not leopards eating face...yet...they are still gloating for now.
The mainstream media mostly sanewashed Trumps buffoonery, racism and lies.
