Trump weighing 25 percent lumber tariffs

31. 10% is a wildly optimistic number

It makes no difference if he understands the impact or not. Nothing he does is based on logic. ONLY on his need to retaliate against anyone who opposed him. All those people who voted for Hillary. All those people who voted for Kamala. All those people who ever voted Dem, who elected Dems in their states, ALL OF THEM. Oh, gee, will some of his supporters be hurt, too? He doesn't care. (If he even thinks about them, it will be think they support him even as their kids are dying of measles, they're living in tents because they can't afford housing, and there's no more food in the grocery store than in a soviet supermarket.)

Look for unemployment to reach 25% or more -- that's what it was in 1933 -- before this piece of shit is done. And remember that in 1933, 25% represented only about 13 million people, mostly men.

January 2025 unemployment was at approx 4% with approx 7 million out of work. Now imagine 42 million out of work, many in families that depended on two incomes to survive, and then there are all the self-employed and small businesses that will be impacted.

"The recession is coming," Rep. Jasmine Crockett told Nicolle Wallace. "I told you here first."
