President Donald Trump is either an "idiot or a bastard". To paraphrase Russian president Vladimir Putin, who mocked Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau when he invited a Ukrainian Nazi war criminal to the Canadian Parliament and received a standing ovation.
Like Trudeau, Trump doesn't know his history either. In the 1930's, the United States committed to an economic policy of carnal sin, when it buggered(Sodomite) thy neighbor. It excebated the Great depression.
So it leaves me to spell out the economic folly of this tariff policy. Either Trump is an idiot or a bastard.
A newspaper reporter asked, in 1932, the economist John Maynard Keynes if there had ever been anything like the Great Depression. Keynes replied, “Yes. It was called the Dark Ages and it lasted 400 years.”
Keynes had accurately predicted that the humiliating and crushing war reparations of the Versailles peace treaty placed on Germany to end World War I would lead to another European war.
When all else fails, they take you to war. If this spirals out of control, there won't be just another trade war.
