In the South, the Trumpers are so gung-ho about these tariffs. I'm guessing they think that they are going to get million dollar checks every month. Perhaps now all the DEI university professors and heads of departments of various hospitals are going to be deported and the average uneducated Joe with 2 teeth is going to be the chief of neurosurgery at Harvard.
The last sentence now has more than a 10% chance of happening.

Midterms are going to be pretty funny next year. All the Trumpie’s bragging about how he is great for 401K returns should be feeling pretty ridiculous right now if they weren’t completely shameless. However, if the markets do crash and fail to fully recover by midterms, GOP is going to get absolutely slaughtered by the independents.

When Europe defeated Napoleon and the conservative reaction was in full force, in many European countries professors with more liberal leanings were replaced by priests, monks and other religious figures. But not by average uneducated Joes with 2 teeth.
Can Trump outdo the ultra-royalist and reactionary elites of post-1815 Europe? Oh yes he can.

It seems Trumps policies strongly align with the Taliban overall. Obama never found Bin Laden, he must've done a face/off or something. The CIA did visit Bin Laden when he got ill....
