i don't want to get into it ITT. but americans can't go hungry the type of people that are poor are also perfectly fine stealing and beyond that there are enough deals and scams where they'll never be hungry.So if America starves, whatever the Kiwis want the GOP and Trump to do will be in vain if a peasant revolt happens should the shelves become empty because no one wants to go hungry
The tarriffs were launched ASAP so there would be about a year before it might really hurt the US economy, the World Cup in 26 will probably help unite the country long enough for the GOP not to get completely fucked in the midterms as long as they can finish the tarriff war by this time next year.
obviously deals haven't been signed yet, but they've given themselves plenty of runway. it reminds me of DOGE, they gave themselves a year and a half to get shit done, US Aid being in the news at the start was great for PR, but overall they've given themselves a lengthy runway to get all the shit they need to, accomplished. I doubt we'll see anything beyond mindless wheel spinning for the next 12 months while the deals get done behind the scenes. Same way the mineral deal vanished from the news.
Trump's policies aren't for what will happen this quarter or this year, as you said even Trump's all but admitted this year will suck for the average american, by a huge fucking margin. but this is the growing pains that will result in next year hopefully being good.
The fact Trump isn't even trying to bullshit people on how the economy is doing should tell you how certain even his people are that the tariffs will destroy the US at least in the short term.
Beyond that Trump is so fucking old i doubt he'll be able to do more than handoff the presidency and vanish same way Truman and Carter and Reagan and Bush mainly stayed out of the picture and vanished from politics once their terms ended.
