Tbf it was such a left field booking that it was easy to go "what the actual f**k?" and yet, all true.
Maybe that's why we're now jumping on the things like that bizarre post by a first-time user that many think might be actually closer to the truth than anticipated.
Well I'd be surprised if they didn't. The historical precedent to cite is when Herbert Hoover signed a law in 1930 to counteract economic trouble caused by the previous year's stock market crash, which hiked up tariffs across the board, lead to tit-for-tat tariff hikes across the world and is widely seen now as a great failure that made the Great Depression worse.
Saying that Trump raised tariffs on many products in 2018/19 and people somehow seem to think those were rosier days. So.. pfft. Maybe this isn't the place for the great economic debates.
