minus-squareCosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·1 day agoIt’s important to note why he did the tariffs. It wasn’t because there was an economic trade imbalance. It wasn’t because he thought they were unfair. It was because it is essentially the only non-military weapon he has and he wanted to look powerful. It was because he wanted to alienate our allies under the direction of Putin. It was because he wanted to feel like a big man. He wanted to show the world he was a dictator. It was a selfish, dick-measuring move.
