This could EASILY be the end of aid to Ukraine in Trump's petty attempt to appease this country's true President (Putin), but I'll go with the insanely boneheaded decision to march ahead with his tariff plans for Canada, Mexico, and China.
It's amazing how he and his supporters forgot how much his tariffs during his first term hurt Americans, especially the farmers. Their markets weren't corrected until President Biden fixed them. Too bad the dumb ass rural Trump voters EAGERLY forgot those little factoids as they foolishly voted for Trump to do exactly what he is doing, something they now have the audacity to insist "we had no idea he was going to do that...again!"
There is an ugly reality to our modern trade culture. The United States needs products from outside the US FAR MORE than the rest of the world needs US Products. I guarantee that the export tariffs the foreign countries will place on our products will have a far more severe ripple effect on us. These other countries are already negotiating LONG-TERM contracts with other non-US countries to supply them the products they need, more than likely at a cheaper price.
Meanwhile, this idea that the US will just consume the near 180 billion in exported agricultural products without immediately tanking the markets in this country (as they'll have FAR TOO MUCH SURPLUS PRODUCT) is uneducated and stupid.
Nope, this will make everything cost more while cutting the revenue for the suppliers who make it, and this time, I doubt the rest of the world will return to the US, IF a new election ever happens.
Rural Americans: Reap what you sow.
