What happens if there aren't 200 tariff deals in 3/4 weeks?

Will that wake MAGA? I never thought I would see the day I believed the Chinese over an American President.

How about no Carhartt jackets for the Fall?

How about no Carhartt work boots?

How about no camo for deer season?

How about no sleeping bags from LL Bean?

Yeti products?

How about no back-to-school shoes?

Do we even make pencil boxes and rulers?

What’s it gonna take? Kohl’s, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx closing?

Or all of the above? Dunno.

1. Simple. He'll just bluster and blunder himself into another back track.

[SARose]

3. He'll try

What about no FEMA for a tropical storm at Houston?

Will that wake them up?

All of this will happen while Republicans are engaged in budget reconciliation for that “big beautiful bill.” I have some popcorn stashed for that.

2. Trump will declare he made great deals, backoff most everything and will move on to other evil.

Add to your lost to tariffs check lists construction tools. Even some heavy equipment is made overseas and almost all hand power tools are.

4. He'll try

His approval ratings are in the basement now. My MAGA family hunts and fishes. Christmas is the time for Yetis.

Glad you mentioned big equipment. I have a cousin currently looking for a new combine.

5. He will offer up Peter Navarro as his latest scapegoat and say he barely even knew him...

Then he will pretend he was never involved in the whole thing. All relevant agencies will scrub their databases and Web sites of any mention of his involvement. An EO requiring all history books to blame the whole thing on Joe Biden will be issued. MAGAland will eagerly absorb the lies as always. And China will slap an export tax on Christmas to make up for their losses....

6. Magats will lose it when dollar stores start closing for lack of cheap junk.

7. They'll start losing it before then

Cheap food disappearing from the dollar stores, tuna jumping up 50% at the grocery store, more expensive produce, etc.

8. Also true!

Wait till back to school time & no new clothes avail for kids...

9. He will claim that is not what his people are telling him.
