That, in 15 months, has wrecked the alliances and trade partnerships we've built over the last 80 years.

He has already wrecked our government institutions and federal agencies. Wreckage to the American economy is only just beginning.

Republicans in Congress own this. They fully supported this president when he usurped congressional powers on tariffs, war, and the power of the purse by impounding legislatively appropriated funds.

As for their voters, the FAFO factor has only just begun to kick in. It's one thing to pay more for gas. Wait until food shortages drive grocery prices through the roof.

His mantra during the 2024 election was to keep repeating the words tariffs and groceries, persuading voters on pocketbook issues.

Little did they know how those two things would bite them in the A$$.

Along with the rest of us.
