100% the goal of all these tariff games is to get Jerome Powell to budge on interest rates Putin's Whore had during his first term.

The backfire in this is Trump's punk ass can end tariffs here after interest rates are lowered but the other countries don't have to.

We are in for some hurt.

Powell doesn't have to lower interest rates and if Trump gets rid of him cause he won't do what he wants the 2008 financial crisis will look like a walk in the park.

Stagflation is coming
