He's already sparked a world wide boycott of U.S. products and services that is growing. He fucked up the U.S. for decades to come.

And his voters will blame the Dems...
I think it's more than just decades, I think this will cause a permanent shift in geopolitics. I'm not sure how it will manifest, but the long term doesn't look good for the US.
Perfectly said.
Is it because stuff takes a month to be shipped here from China, and all shipments were halted about a month ago when the tariffs were announced - meaning at best, we have another month before stuff picks back up again (if anyone will trust that tariffs will remain at their current levels)?
It'll probably be worse than that. It's not like factories in China were sitting around waiting for orders from the US, they moved on to other clients. They'll have to put orders in and wait in line, hoping the tariffs are stable, which is a huge gamble with this asshole in charge.
