Some aren't seeing the realities of these tariffs. Withdraw them, it's too fucking late.

We American's have made it crystal clear we cannot be trusted, the world is moving on no matter what we do. We've set in motion a monster than cannot be recalled.

Reminds me of COVID in 2020. We learned we could do without, tightened our belts. Consumer behavior doesn't spin on a dime. Once people become accustomed to doing with less, spending less, they have a new habit. Does that make sense?
