An excellent analysis. Unfortunately, it'll go right over the heads of the MAGA Cult members.

   Their Supreme Leader has assured them that his tariffs will solve everything; taxing all the countries that for decades have ripped the US off will end this theft.

   The fact that 4.2% of the world's population is consuming 28% of all the world's total production, which should indicate that it's the other way around, seems to evade them.

   Of course, it is all Biden's fault that the US economy and stock market are tanking.

 JP> The US started printing far too many dollars and the world saw it.

 JP> China was the first to openly indicate that it wanted to own less
 JP> American debt.

 JP> Germany and the Netherlands demanded their physical gold back... All
 JP> indications that people were starting to trust the US less.

 JP> That only became clear in Trump's first term.

 JP> Biden was never able to fully regain that trust, partly because he also
 JP> continued to play Santa Claus in the aftermath of the Corona crisis.

 JP> Trump two confirms all the suspicions of bankers and politicians.
 JP> America First means that the US only thinks of itself and does not care

 JP> The tariffs that came into effect this week confirm the selfishness of
 JP> the US.

 JP> There is no other way than to create more distance and become less
 JP> dependent on the US. That in both economic and military areas. The US is
 JP> NO longer an ally.

 JP> Let go of the past eighty years. The US is currently just as much a
 JP> threat to world peace as Russia and China are. That may sound strange,
 JP> but get used to it.
