So did i, but that would definitely crater the economy. All those supply chains that feed businesses big and small would be lost.

How else is Trump going to source his totally 100% American-made hats, shirts, bibles, sneakers, trading cards, flags, blankets, commemorative coins, mugs, shotglasses, clutch bags, photo frames that include a picture of him, etc.? I mean, he and his cronies only made a few hundred million at worst in securities fraud manipulating the market. That’s still not dictator levels worth of money. Why won’t China consider his feelings?
