The idiots who wrote that (and think everything in it is a good idea), easily convinced Trump the late 19th century (which Twain derisively dubbed “The Gilded Age.” It’s another irony of history that we turned that into a nostalgic compliment.), was “golden” and tariffs were the goose laying the valuable eggs.The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, on Donald Trump's tariffs:

"There is no reason, rationale or justification to support this decision that will affect our peoples and nations. We have decided to respond with tariff measures.”

So it may be Trump is a Paklid (“We are smart! We make things go!”), and imagines himself a strong man. But Trump is just an empty glove. It’s the hand in the glove you have to pay attention to.
Trump has no clue. It’s the people whispering in his ear who matter more. Well, and a supine Congress who won’t stop the madness.China and Canada have put retaliatory tariffs after Donald Trump's tariffs went into effect today.

According to Yale's Budget Lab, U.S. tariffs are at their highest level since 1943.
We are watching, again, the violation of my informal motto: “Ideas don’t matter. Things don’t matter. People matter.” Project 2025, and Elmo and DOGE, put ideas above all things. They have down dragon’s teeth, they will reap the whirlwind. Decide things matter (“Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.”), and find out it is people who matter. Start there, everything aligns itself properly. Start with either other category, and all’s set at six and sevens.
