    Personally, I wouldn’t. This dude already has one foot in the grave and also has super bad ADHD. I expect the tariffs won’t hold once he realizes they are bad for business.

    As others have also said, I wouldn’t tie your nest egg and protesting together. It’s valiant, but there are better ways to protest without taking gains.

      The impression I’m getting is that tariffs aren’t necessarily bad for business, but they are indeed for consumers.

        Which will in turn affect business. Nobody can buy their stuff is nobody has the money for it, unless their plan is just to keep the wealthy people alive, while at the same time, making them poorer

        It might take a while for this to play out though.

      If this is Bannon’s plan (as a nationalist) though, tariffs could continue with JD Vance. Also remember Vance is backed by another more shadowy billionaire supervillain, Peter Thiel, the guy who thinks democracy is overrated.

        Peter Thiel, the libertarian behind Vance and one of the most powerful people on earth.
