And this is only the beginning. The numbers will get worse as the effects of the tariffs kick in. Not only obvious losses at ports and trucking, but also all the manufacturing that gets cut because of a lack of inputs, machine tools and parts.

It's like Covid all over again.
"First-time filings for unemployment insurance totaled a seasonally adjusted 241,000 for the week ended April 26, up 18,000 from the prior period and higher than the estimate for 225,000.
Continuing claims, which run a week behind and provide a broader view of layoff trends, rose to 1.92 million, up 83,000 to the highest level since Nov. 13, 2021."

Remember, trump can’t destroy the economy by himself. He’s dependent on republicans. A vote for republicans is a vote to destroy our economy.
Their constituents must be very proud.

It’s too bad they’re scared of Trump and it’s too bad that he has no integrity and will target dissenters.
Lastly it’s too bad that Trump is so stupid.
“Trump said the U.S. does not really need imports from the world’s dominant manufacturer. “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” he said. “So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”
Republicans aren’t scared of Trump. They like what he’s doing. Most in the house are gerrymandered into safety and the senators think they’ll be immune to any shocks.

He’s not wrong on the dolls comment.
I wasn’t concerned about plastic waste until I had children. The sheer scale of plastic toys that ultimately become garbage is massive.
Maybe your kids can work in Trump’s factories?

Trump's tariff war could reduce the supply of Christmas toys. But deporting children could reduce the demand.

Christmas is cancelled this year and it wasn't the Dems who did it. Oh, the irony.

I think we’ve finally witnessed the perfect rock bottom response.
Wait, someone needs to blame Biden.

Will be interesting. He hasn’t let anything else come up for a vote. But maybe there will be more pressure from elsewhere at this point?

IIRC a Democratic House member put it in a discharge petition so it has to go to the floor. This was a while ago so I don’t remember the details.
