Australia’s chances of escaping America’s global steel and aluminium tariffs appear all but extinguished, with the US president reconfirming his commitment to a comprehensive tariff regime he argues will be “the greatest thing we’ve ever done as a country”.
“We’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we’re going to become so rich, you’re not going to know where to spend all that money,” Donald Trump told reporters on board Air Force One flying from Florida to Washington DC.
“We’re basically going to take back the money – a lot of the money that we’ve given away over many decades.”
I’m sure he does. But his constituency still doesn’t.
Let’s again quote this from some 2016 article that stuck in my head:
And. They. Still. Don’t. Realize.
My only hope is that right now, his supporters are dwindling. How much though and will it still have an effect come next election and won’t it be too late anyhow…
People need to wake up and realise that there isn’t going to BE a “next election”. At least not a fair one. Trump will win it the same way Putin and Orlov “win”.
The sooner American’s wake the fuck up to this and deal with it in the inevitable way, the sooner the planet can be done with this nightmare.
