Corrections

So the point of the tariffs is?

A) negotiations on trade deficits the administration fundamentally misunderstands?

B) Bringing factories back to America to be operated by robots and AI?

C) Wrecking the U.S. economy because Trump is an idiot?

D) Letting Trump think he’s finally equal to Putin?

E) Yes.
I think he meant to put that in the present tense. ‘Cause nobody can be that delusional. Right? Well, maybe I’m wrong.😑  The factory will open in just a few months, and AI and robots will take care of everything.  And by then we can train high school kids to maintain the robots.  Those kids’ll work cheap.

BREAKING: Dow drops 2,200 points, S&P 500 loses 10% in 2 days after China retaliated with new tariffs on U.S. goods, sparking fears Trump has ignited a global trade war that will lead to a recession.
See? Nothing to worry about.
“A sharp rise in trade-war intensity sent Wall Street spiraling Friday, pushing the Nasdaq into a bear market denoting a 20% decline from its peak. … The marketwide toll from the two-day tariff rout surged to a record $6.4 trillion.”
Joe Biden ruined all of those.
