If orangeasaurus was really trying to fix the US debt problem, he wouldn’t let IRS agents get fired that have a 26x ROI on their salary when recovering taxes from the rich.

i envision a future usa where the bikers ride on old stock, several times repaired carbon frames, like they do with their oldtimer cars in cuba, lol. there will be a huuuuuuge repair industry, making old stuff workable again, just to safe on these tariffs.

China is actually 54%, they confirmed the 34% was stacking on top of the existing 20%. I have no words for what's going on. Will the USA bankrupt some of their own companies if this is long term ?
