Trump changes his tune on the economy

[Warpy]

20. Expecting every citizen to pay an additional 25%+ in taxes on everything imported

from car parts to washing machines to coffee was going to pay for a hefty tax cut for billionaires.

He didn't expect it to kill imports, kill exports, implode the bond market, devalue the dollar, That made a lot of Republicans very unhappy. They hate it when their bullshit doesn't work, especially when the failure is both immediate and spectacular.

Ufortunately, they also tend to cling to that bullshit, so expect tweaking instead of the abandonment that needs to happen.
