    Yeah this. The only way to counter these tariffs is to buy as much from the US as you sell to it.

        He’s a complete moron who believes he’s an absolute genius who thought of something new that nobody EVER considered before, and convinced himself that its the solution to everything, based on no evidence at all, other than his massive intellect.

        Or he’s just a craven traitor doing Putin’s bidding, and deliberately destroying our economy.
